Poor Rebeccaa That kind of thing hurts so much at her age. (Okay, it hurts at any aqe, but I think everything is more intense then.) I understand your frustration over the MRI, etc. -- My mother-in-law just got released from the hospital after several days of tests and x-rays and conflicting medical guesses -- she has a tumor, probably cancer -- no, she does not have a tumor -- she has a torn muscle -- no, she does not have a torn muscle -- and on and on, the kind of thing with which you have had a lot of experience. One doctor suddenly got flustered and left the room when he realized Nancy and her sisters were taking notes on what he was saying.

This is why I wouldn't want to relive my life and am happy now in my less roller coast like emotional life, but I'm glad I have it in my past, I guess. Lucky you to have a daughter, my son went through a teenage break up without telling me and when I figured it out, without opting to talk to me about it.He is a very private person and, though we are close, he won't discuss this aspect of his life unless things are rosey,and then only after he's sure. Time will heal Rebecca, and that's about all that will really. Hope you get some sort of answer from the MRI.

I also would worry about Grandma and keep a close watch for unseen trauma. I can say nothing about lost loves, daughter was through two of them at great emotional and financial cost. Then another ended in his death from cancer. We hurt so much when our kids hurt.

Usually MRIs of the brain, head and neck are done with gadolinium nowadays. It's standard...but they should have told you beforehand! I think your grandmother should see someone - she could have a hematoma in her head...not good. You have you share, and a few hundred other people's shares, of problems right now Steph. I don't know how you cope... I pray someone, somewhere finds a way to help you with your pain.

Oh, I feel so bad for Rebecca. I'm glad, though, that she won't settle for less than she's worth. And your grandma -- oh, it sounds so familiar! Do try to get her to the doctor. Hugs to you and yours.

You raised that child right! Well done, Rebecca! Sucks right now, but it bodes well for the future. If the twerpy boyfriend insists on partying away his freshman year your girl is so very wise not to do it with him. As for how he wouldn't be at college and happier with himself without her? Honestly, it's better she learns now that NO man in the history of time has EVER been grateful to the woman who turned his life around. Better she should hold out for someone who doesn't need fixing in the first place. /// Do you think you could coax your grandma into seeing a doc-in-a-box? A walk-in clinic isn't fabulous, but at least they can do a pupil check and such to see if she's concussed. Good luck with this latest round, sweetie. ~LA
