Darn Vertigo

4/8/2015

hi all, Jenna here. Mom is dealing with a bout of vertigo today and sounds like as long as she lays still in bed and doesn't move, the overwhelming urge to worship the porcelain God is at bay.
I talked to her for just a little bit today, and it makes me wish I could find a way to help her. Its funny how I've become somewhat of a parent to her, always worrying that any little bout of not feeling well is something to keep an eye on. The dizziness has been pretty constant, even at "mild" levels, all throughout her breast cancer treatment. And she has been doing SO well, I truly don't ever want her to feel lousy.

She has been an amazing source of strength always, but particularly the last year and a half. She's the one I mainly talk to about faith, and finding strength - because she's just been so strong through diagnosis, surgeries, chemo, her fathers failing health and then death, Lil Ma's diagnosis, failing health and then death, and just the everyday "stuff" that can weigh a person down. Funny how when I was younger I didnt always appreciate it, but after becoming a parent myself her wisdom and support is what I've relied on and turned to when there were so many questions.

Anywho, shes feeling cruddy, so if you could send some good vibes her way, please do!! Maybe dont call right now - she needs quiet and rest.

God Bless You All

Sorry that you are down and out, Janene. Mom used to have these bouts, too. I think that you have done pretty well, having a daughter that seems to know you well.

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
