Life as the caregiver n daughter of a Cancer SURVIVOR

Ok some of you see me talk about my ma on twitter..a LOT at times. Mom (Gertie) is 84 yrs old. Though she is very fisty and full of life and spunk she is totally deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. So sometimes communication is hard to say the least with her. There are many times when someone tells her something if she dosen't hear it, she just comes to her conclusion as to what is said whis if you can imagine leads to a lot of confusion at times. Mon is deaf because when she was young n young I mean I was a toddler, she was cleaning a rabbit (it was hunting season) and a bone splintered poking her finger. She later became ill and in the hopspital was told she had "rabbit fever" No I had never heard of it either. Regardless as a result it left her with only minimal healing in one ear. Mom being 84 is set in her ways and change is hard for her. This whole internet thing drives her nuts. She says " I don't understand what it is you can do on there to raise money?!" Many I day I've gotten descouraged even about cried, but then took  deap breaths reminded myself I must keep going and understand in her day this technology was NOT thought of. I may have a descussion with mom about what is happening and a few days later well...I'm sure i don't need to explain, I'm repeating myself. I love mom she is my ROCK. But I would be lying to say there are not days that are tough. But I push through it because she and my sister are both survivors and I will continue to keep HOPE4ACURE alive.
