I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you...
So my mom had surgery today. Her shoulder was frozen...not as in cold frozen but just like locked in place.
I sat with my mom before they brought her into surgery. Whatever drugs they gave her made her nuttier than a fruitcake! I walked into her room and she immediately began telling me about her the pulse ox lead on her finger looked like a dolphin and she could make some awesome shadow puppets with it. I stood up to look at her monitor and she told me not to even bother because "the only channel she could get to come through on that tv was the weather channel" Oook mom haha!
The surgery took about two hours. My dad is such an anxious waiting room person. He kept pacing. Which is so odd considering a we've spent a great amount of time in hospital waiting rooms, I mean from the time I was 5 up until I was 12 I spent tons of time in various hospital waiting rooms. However, my mom and dad were usually in with my brother so I guess I'm the one out of all of us that has the most experience in waiting rooms. I've always found hospital waiting rooms to be such interesting places...sometimes you'll hear the most fascinating stories while you are sitting there.
My mom has to stay in the hospital overnight because they put a blocker in her left arm and she can't leave until she's regained the feeling and ability to move the arm. She wasn't too happy about having to stay overnight but that is the way it had to be.
I'm just really glad the surgery went well and hopefully she won't have anymore problems with her shoulder.
