Thanks DM. It is so strange. She never was a really loving, touchy feeling type of mom, but nonetheless, she was mom. Now it's like she goes from crying, laughing, loving and anger at the drop of a hat. It's probably the stress and anguish at all that has happened. Hopefully her primary doctor will give her something to stay calm. My oldest brother is emotionally distant. It's all a sad situation. But the daughters are taking care of it. Who needs boys anyway? My mom's SIL's are better to her then the boys. lol

Hi Sandy! I have sent prayers up for you and your Mom.
My Mom had brain surgery 10 years ago. It took a very long time for her to fully recover........the better part of a year.
Mom went back to work far too early as well and could not cope. She ended up with severe anxiety issues...very severe. Shehad a very hard time letting others help her. She thought she should be all better in no time flat. Truth is it took her many years to get past all of the residual effects. I do hope you Mom is OK. Brain surgery is so emotionally difficult on Mom and the family. Take Care of yourself and God Bless you and yours!

Heart Prayer Request

Hi I am Lady Veteran,

Please get a picture of your mom and lay it on a table or chair or whatever you feel comfortable with. Get as many of your friends, pastor, and or church members as possible to form a circle around the picture and join hands. Each person should say a personal prayer out loud according to how the Lord leads them and ask God for healing according to his will.

This helped a gentleman who the doctors thought need a heart transplant due to his heart only functioning at 5%. He had another medical condition causing his body to shut down. He will be fine with treatment. To God be the glory and praise.

Best wishes, God Bless and stay in touch.

Dorrie, thank you for your story. Did your mom ever go back to work? My mom's eyes are so bad and her memory is shot. She knows it but hates it. For now, we are assuming she may never work again and the doctors are starting to agree. They also said she cannot drive and had to let her car go back to the bank.

I love this idea! My sister has also considered asking her church elders to come over and pray over mom. Of course we cannot tell her they will do this. It will have to be impromptu.

Hi SandyMy Mom did go back to work after about 3 years...she was not the same though she continued working only for a couple more and then stopped completely. My mom stopped driving but that was because of the high level of anxiety....she has got into a car 1 time sincehowever that was not for the same reason as your mom. Hopefully the Dr will figure out what is wrong soon. The brain is a funny thing after surgery....people are not supposed to be poking around in there!!! There were times when we were pulling our hair out because of all the changes in Mom...it took so very long to recover and it is stressful for all. I am praying for your Mom Sandy that this is just a residual effect that will pass or can be healed...I pray that the doctors can pinpoint it and fix the problem ..I am praying for you as well...hang in there Sweetie DORRIE...SORRY PUT THIS IN THE WRONG SPOT!!!!

I love this idea! My sister has also considered asking her church elders come over and pray over mom. Of course we cannot tell her they will do this. It will have to be impromptu.

Dorrie, I am sorry I called you Sassy! I am losing it today. lol

Thanks for the background on your mom. I talked with mom today and she remembers nothing when I ask her something. For example, I asked her about her neuro and she said "what neuro?" or things like that.

She has an appointment with the neuro on the 19th to go over her eeg's. He said there was no epilepsy activity which is good, but found two other active areas he wouldn't discuss over the phone. That has me a little concerned.

Hi Sandy! It is OK that you called me Sassy....maybe you mixed me up with Saffy, my granddaughter!!
I hope the time between now and you moms appointment flies!
I do remember my mom had some issues with memory for several months....for example my brother would drop in....later in the day if you asked who came by she could not recall him being there at all....rather than say"Oh I must have forgot"...it would frustrate her and she would say that she was not stupid...if he was here I would remember!! She also was so determined to get back to "normal" that she resumed her accountant duties at home.....Dad had to take after shortly after because Mom kept paying the bills twice....she completely forgot that she had been to the bank already!! It was very frightening and it felt like she was never going to get thru it but she did and I am praying that your mom too will have a good and full recovery Sandy!! God Bless you !!
