Mom is doing ok - they did some tests and sent her home with a pain killer and antibiotic at 3:30 am. I stayed with her through Friday morning, took her to a doctor's appointment, then went to work for a half day. She called at 5:30 pm with a high fever and wanted me to come back. I spent the rest of the weekend with her (Dave came down for part of it, thank god), then went back home yesterday and I'm at work today.
The doctor still wasn't sure what was wrong with her, he said the tests that they did in the emergency room were "inconclusive" but that he was pretty sure it was her gall bladder, based on the location of the pain. She is having a nuclear HIDA scan today, to look at gall bladder function. I am just praying that she doesn't have to have surgery because I nearly lost it this weekend. I can't imagine what she'd be like with pain from surgery, and I don't know if I have the patience to care for her by myself. Ugh.
On a completely unrelated note, girls on the f-list, do you have any recommendations for a decent strapless bra? I need one for a bridesmaid's dress that has a halter top and a low-ish back. I have a $10 target one that I wear for going out, but it always rides low by the end of the night, and this one has to last all day. I'd prefer something under $50, but can you really put a price on a decent bra? Thoughts/advice appreciated.
