I told my class today that I was expecting an important call and that I would have my phone on. My dad called in the middle of class to tell me that the tumor is too big to safely remove and that they had to remove her entire kidney. I'm freaked out to say the least. The docs assured dad that people can live normal lives with just one kidney, but that they have to see how she is after recovery.
I just want to be near her right now. It kills me that I can't be there. It's not like I could do anything that my dad or the nurses can't, but I want to be there as a physical presence.
I talked to mom for over an hour yesterday. She wasn't anxious at all. I know my dad is going bonkers right now, and think that it would help for me to be there with him in the waiting room.
I feel so powerless.
