Today was rough

Jul 26, 2010 21:23

By the time I got to the hospital this morning, they'd taken mom down for a chest CT. She was almost lucid and I stayed with her for an hour or so. I kinda worry that she doesn't want me to see her like that and that it stresses her out a little when I'm there, but I also feel like I really need to be glued to that bedside every minute to make ( Read more... )

Goodness, that does sound rough. Hang in there, and if there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to call.

Hope is going to cover for me tonight, and I plan on coming out long enough to drop off a full carboy for her, since she only has one. My sister will be here this afternoon, so barring any unforeseen complications, it should be okay for me to get out for a bit.

Blossom, in order to help her, you need to take care of you a bit. Don't forget to take the time to eat and get out for air on occasion.

You are amazingly strong, but this is indeed rough times. I think the doctor is putting you in a very bad situation by telling you not to tell your dad. It will be better with your sister there, but listen to your gut. Is not telling him causing most of the emotional turmoil? Would he be able to calm your mom down?

I hug you. Lots.

It's not the doctor telling me to keep stuff from my dad, it's my mom that doesn't want him to worry or interrupt the trip. I talked to the doctor again this morning, and he's still optimistic, but it is going to be a long road. Dad's near Bay City and making arrangements to do something with the bike and get himself back here. He should be home in a day or so, and that's going to help. I feel like I'm spread too thin trying to take care of me, her, Katie, my dogs, and everything else. And I cannot stand her daytime nurse and want to smack the gum right out of her bleached blond, overly made up head. So yeah, I'm taking a break.

Holy shit. You hang in there, Blossom; I've never met your mom, but if she's anything like her daughter then she's a stubborn, strong woman and a fighter. I agree with weavedancer-- you got to take care of yourself if you want to take care of other people, so so don't ignore any personal red flags.

You let me know if there's anything I can do at all, okay? **hugs hard**
