Not really.
For one, my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I found this out a few days before Christmas when I went home to visit. In 2009 she took a trans-Pacific flight over (my family lives in eastern Asia, where I am from) to attend my high school graduation, and we drove around the west coast and visited several cities. In December of 2016 she could barely put her own dress on by herself. Yet in the mornings she still has to go to work like a normal 50-something. Her situation would be called young onset. My grandmother appears younger and healthier than my mom. My mom is now frail and afraid of both heat and cold, and after a certain time everyday it's as if life suddenly disappears from her as she either sits or stands there, looking at nothing, for a few minutes. I also found out she also has Sciatica. This causes shooting pain and cramps in her legs. It really sucks to be woken up in the middle of the night by your mother's sobbing due to a massive painful leg cramp. I try to think rationally, and I used to just accept that death is natural and a normal part of life, but this past month for the first time it hit me that someone I love and care about deeply could really die in my lifetime.
My sister has some kind of leukemia. Sorry, I don't know the full name; I will ask later. She's been taking Prednisone since childhood. My father also has some kind of leukemia, and my grandmother is diabetic and recently got Bell's Palsy. Basically my whole family is plagued with some kind of illness. I strongly believe it has to do with the environment in my home country, because they're all sick somehow, except me who is in the States.
So I'm trying to stay in the U.S. so I can offer my family a way out, but I'm stretching thin. I'm still not completely financially independent. The cost of living here is 2~3 times higher than in my home country, yet I still partially rely on my family's financial support. I also don't have health insurance because my current job is temp. With the cost of even some common medical procedures here, it is cheaper for me to fly back home and go to the hospital, or to die.
Shit sucks and I'm not happy about it.
