oh what a night

OK so my friday was fun up until about 11pm...lol..I can laugh about it now b/c I know everything is okay and it wasn't extremely serious, just unpleasant. After school I went to work on scenes with Dani & Mary for Goulapalooza. FUn times...then Mary adn I went shopping for unmentionable items, afterwhich we enjoyed eachother's company at a new cafe. I havent hung out with just Mary in like 9 months so I enjoyed our lil escapade (sp?) Then I went to see Capitol Area Dinner Theater's show : Titanic the musical with Geoffe and Katie Fo. Dan, Kelly, Meredith, and Keving were in it and they all did beautifully. Dan is hot when he sings. lol .. anyways ..meanwhile my mother was not having such a splendid time. SHe was at dinner with a friend and apparently was eating a salad with those little crunchy chinese noodles and one got lodged in her throat (or so she thought) I didnt get a chance to check my messages until like 10:45 when the show let out.. luckily she had a friend to wait with her. I was really worried when I first heard..choking is like my phobia..and it was weird to think that I could have lost her forever. She could have choked at 6 when she went to dinner and I wouldnt have known she was dead for like 5 hours...I can't even fathom life without her. I mean Im pretty sure I said I love you when I left the house earlier, but I am always in such a hurry who knows if this one time I forgot. My last memory would have been a quick kiss a rushed departure...thats not how I would want to say goodbye..at all.
After thinking all this over on my drive to the hospitol. I releived to see her in the waiting room. She could breath but it was just very painful for her to swallow. We waited until 12am when they took us back. A doctor saw us at 1am and told us he would get a throat specialist around 7am to take a look. I left around 2am. I picked her up this morning at 8:30. Apparently the noodle just scratched her throat, so all is okay. they prescribed something to fix her up in no time. Still, the whole experience was a wakeup call and kind of eerie. Every morning I rush out the house at 7am worried about getting to school on time, then I usually don't see her until 9 that night. I love my mom more than words can express. She is basically taking the place of two parental roles b/c I am not close to my Dad AT ALL.. I have no idea what I would do without her. I'm just glad the injury was a minor one.
