I'm not sure what I'm expecting from posting this here, but I'm hurting and I want to be able to speak about this, or at least to say something.
I was very worried about my fathers health about 2 weeks ago, when he was uncontactable for a day and it turned out he had been in hospital overnight. Thanks to the folks in sickbay for helping me out there, but I sadly discovered how right Seshat was on how hospitals react to serious problems. And in this case it was my mum (who has always been very healthy in the past).
On Saturday afternoon I got a call from the local hospital saying my mum was there in intensive care and I should come in. They didn't know what was wrong with her, other than she was extremely dehydrated and had suffered a cardiac arrest just after she arrived in the emergency department. On Monday they told us her kidney and liver were failing, and on Tuesday they determined that she had Influenza B. That night, at 1:45am, we got the call that she had passed away. She never regained consciousness after the cardiac arrest.
What really really hurts about this is that mum did get the flu shot and has for several years now. And the fact that monday was my birthday, and my only wish, that mum get better, didn't get fulfilled.
It was so fast, I almost can't believe it.
RIP mum, you were the best mother I could have hoped for. I miss you so badly.
