Life Is Hard.
a week ago
Hello everyone... I hope you're all safe and healthy.
I just want to let you all know that I won't be able to answer any messages or work on any art for a little while.
I am currently sick with COVID, and have radiation treatments every weekday until Christmas Eve. I also just had a CT scan on my abdomen to see if I need another abdominal surgery to repair a potential hernia related to my surgery from September.
For some more context to my current situation... I have been very dependent on my mother for this past year. She's been with me throughout my cancer diagnosis and treatments, and took care of me while I recovered from my surgery. I still need more time before I can truly be independent again.
Tragically... A few days ago, my mother has fallen critically ill; and is currently hospitalized and being treated for COVID pneumonia. It appears that she may have suffered some brain damage due to a lack of oxygen - her O2 sats dipped to 54% on Thursday morning. I am afraid that this might have made her dementia exponentially worse. She hasn't been formally diagnosed with dementia yet, but she will need more tests in the following weeks to determine whether or not she will even be able to come home, or if she will need continuous care around the clock.
All I can do right now is just be there for her, and try to take the best care of myself as possible. Unfortunately my mother's husband is also dealing with prostrate cancer and lymphoma, so I do not want to cause any more stress to him at this time. Physically, I can only depend on myself. Only time will tell me if I need more help or not.
I am just so exhausted. And this journey is far from over.

Really sorry! Please take care of yourself and your family! I wish you all a healthy and speedy recovery!
We're with you Rosh, I hope for the best
I am really sorry to hear this, it sounds like one punch in the gut after the other...I don't even think of proper words to offer you. Just hold on, and hope for the best. I wish for all of you the speediest of recoveries.
Ouch... Sorry to hear about all this. :(
I've been run ragged taking care of my wife after her last surgery and my young son on top of that. I can’t imagine what it's like stacking covid and your mother's illness on top of all that.
I am very sorry to hear that you have bad news, Roshea. I sincerely hope that your current situation brings you good news as soon as possible so that you can have a break from all that.
I'm so sorry, Roshea. Sending healing vibes to you and your family. We're with you through it all.
So sorry you and your family are going through all this. I hope healing happens for everyone VERY soon, I cannot imagine going through all that WITH Covid! Fuck Cancer, Fuck covid!
