A Warning 4-7-10

Apr 07, 2010

My mom had bypass surgery about 15-16 years ago. She had done well all these years. The official cause of death was malabsorption and protein deficiency. Her cancer was in remission. All these years she was not getting enough of something called albumim or something like that. It is a form of protein that apparently keeps fluid from building up.

Her lungs and heart could not take all the pressure from the constant fluid. This is a wake up call for me, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I watched my mom fight for air and then slip into a coma. I watched her for 7 excruciating days waste away. I do not wish that on my worst enemy.

Just take care and be mindful of your protein intake. It took almost 20 years to take my mom away, so it is always a possibility. I wish she would have known that her body was betraying her sooner......she might still be here with my sister and I.
