I'm sure there's people here that would send a donation or even just a card or flowers...
Could you post up which hospital and room number, or name of your mom to direct those to?
I'll be the first in line, if you provide that.
Thanks. I don't want to post it on this thread but if yall will PM me then I'll send the info.

That is pretty terrible. It’s been standing belief in law enforcement that it’s rare women shoot themselves, opting for other less dramatic methods of suicide. Probably an accident. Hope she comes through OK, hang in. I work in law enforcement and that's been the case in my experience. Im contacting an attorney monday because I believe that only a psychiatrist or family practice dr can write lexapro and xanax together. I don't think it's lawful for a gastro dr to do it.

What's bad is no one saw it coming. She was out pulling weeds which is one of her favorite chores. Dad was around back doing something. He said he heard a gunshot and went inside and found her. He said he thought she was dead.
I did find out that for some odd reason her gastrointerologist put her on xanax and lexapro combined and that mom was drinking yesterday for some reason. I think she didnt realize what she was doing and in her stupor was messing with dads gun and shot herself. But she never drank so that was probably her signal for help.
Mom has never liked guns and been deathly afraid of em.
At 10:22 am mom got out of surgery and the plastic surgeon reconstructed her jaw as best he could but he said there was extensive damage and that she'd require on down the road more jaw surgeries and probably oral surgery on her teeth. She'll also need speech therapy but she's alive and doing well. No longer has a brain bleed either and no sign of brain damage according to newest ct scan.
What has pissed me off about this whole situation is dad knew she was drinking and didn't tell anyone and didn't try to stop her even though she was on medication you didn't drink on. I asked him why he didn't try and stop her. He says because she was a big girl and an adult and she could do what she wanted. Part of me blames my dad for this and part of me doesn't. Sad ta hear what happened. Hopefully she will recover well. Has ta be some back burner dynamics going on from what you describe between them happening and not happening.

Horrible to hear. So sorry for your mom and all involved. Save your money on the attorney (at least for this specific issue) however. Perfectly lawful.

How terrible and I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. My mom tried several times when I was a teenager many years ago with pills. She finally had to be institutionalized for a year before she was mentally fit to come home. Really [bleep] time in my and my sisters lives. Don’t be too hard on your dad - I’m sure he’s doing that all by himself. I know mine did.
God bless! You and your family will be in my prayers!
Yours in Liberty,
BL

Most of my family says a rosary every night during Lent. We'll say tomorrow's for your mother and family.

Thanks. I don't want to post it on this thread but if yall will PM me then I'll send the info. Maybe consider ‘Go Fund Me’. That can be very productive for the truly needy. Best wishes for your family.

Had she just started the Lexapro within the past couple of weeks? I know for a fact that it will totally fuqk your mind up when you're first getting on it.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she comes through a-ok with a full recovery....
