My Crazy Life
Why is it that when you think life is going okay, it comes crashing down. I realized today (Although I knew it already) that it's so fragile. It's never fair and it's never controlled.
This morning I got to work and turned on my cell phone - I usually turn it on before I left the house, but didn't for some reason this morning. What was awaiting me was a page from my father and also a voicemail. For those of you who don't know my father - he really isn't a phone person. He hates the phone, hates talking on it and rarely calls me. Usually I talk with him when I call their house on my daily phone conversation with my mother. So it was very strange to me that I had not only a voicemail but also a page from him. Who pages anyone....
I finally got ahold of him to learn that my mother and him were in the ER. She got really dizzy last night and started throwing up. She threw up all night and was still sick this morning so my dad took her in to the Cannon Falls ER. After 2 CT Scans, and a long wait we found out around 12 that she has Vertigo. It's pretty much a swelling of her inner ear and she feels like she is on a merry go round or the tilt-a-whirl all the time. We were concerned at first that it was her brain tumor that it had grown faster than we thought. She was heading in to the doctor in September to get her 18 month check up. But looks like it hasn't grown a bit. So that's good news. Now it's just a waiting game as to when she will get better. She was admitted to the hospital and will be there over night. The doctor is going to check on her in the morning and if she is able to walk on her own and feels better than she can go home.
She is pretty much just sitting with a wash cloth on her face and trying to relax. If she moves she feels sick. She drank some sprite and chicken broth when we left around 6 tonight. So hopefully that stayed down and she got some rest....
Life, we can never be ready for what it deals us. This year has been a tough one for my family, between my dad and his colon sugery, his aneurysm, and my mom's tumor and now this. It's just nuts....Hopefully that will be enough and we can have a good rest of the year.
