Some news on Mom’s surgery. It happened, as scheduled, on Tuesday afternoon and so far they say it went okay. There was a slight delay (they took her in at 3 pm instead of 1 pm) and because of that she had to spend the night in the intensive care unit because they wouldn’t let her out of there after 6 pm as they have this rule. Which wasn’t a bad thing coz it meant she had some extra attention this first night after the surgery. I didn’t go to the hospital that evening coz they wouldn’t let me in anyway, and my grandma was there and we decided there was no need for everyone to roan there aimlessly in any case. Grandma talked to the doctor and then told me everything.
I did, however, go to visit yesterday after work. Had to ask my boss to let me go earlier but what the hell? She’s my mom, I would go to see her whenever I want. He was ok with it, though, so it was fine.
She looked much better than I expected, and they insisted she tried to walk and stuff. She didn’t coz she was dizzy after the anesthesia but I made her some tea and she had a banana and I brought her some yoghurt (coz she hadn’t eaten for nearly 2 days) and we talked for a while. I hope she eats well even though the hospital food sucks.
Going to visit her again today after work, and Grandma will stop by before that as well. They are not saying when they are going to let her out but it’s too early for that anyway. Maybe by weekend or early next week. The sooner the better, I think. Well, at least I won’t be freaking out as much when she is at home at last.
Also, they need to give us all info on how to take care of stitches and when she is due for check ups and stuff. I was happy to see her rather cheerful in any way even though the hospitals give me creeps and being there is not fun at all :P
At least I can stop freaking out as well and feel a little bit relieved.
