So, Trav's (MBD, if you haven't known me for the full 800 years)mom got necratizing fascitis - or flesh eating disease if you've heard of it. She was touch and go for a day, but is stable now that they removed all infected tissue, including her left breast and pectoral muscles. She's not yet conscious, but has good color and is peeing well. If she makes it through the night without terrible problems with 3rd space, she is quite likely to live.
This is very upsetting, to say the least. This woman saved my ass and saved my children on a weekly basis for probably 15 years. She is my other mother.
So my actual mother, the one who gave birth to me and who does not claim any psychic abilities calls to ask me if she is returning my call. Huh? No, but I am having a small crisis over here with family who is not really family. I am needing my mother. So thanks for vibing me out and offering your support. I needed that. And thanks for being the kind of person who will weep on the phone for the suffering of a person you don't paricularly like and have felt jealous of. Thanks mom.
