Another insane time.....I seriously must have said something or thought something really bad .....seriously.
A few weeks ago mom fell and broke her hip and had to have surgery...it went well and then it created a clot....he went in again and did surgery and cleaned it out. She was home and doing well. walking around with a walker and being her little busy self. This morning her site hurts like hell and her legs are swollen...shit. Off to the hospital and it is what I expected. Blood clots and an infection. So of course its blood thinners and antibiotics. But, they want to send her home.....what ? She is not supposed to move and they are sending her home because there is no beds. I drive her home trying not to cry thinking the clots are going to move anytime and she will be gone...meanwhile worrying if she is in pain.
In all this I have a week holiday in which my friend is getting married...so in that week is the shower, staggette, BBQ at my house, golf tournament, wedding, and day after. While we are getting ready for the wedding my friend sees that my room downstairs is full of water.....ug....its seepage so the insurance wont pay for it.....its finally fixed....but my antique bedroom set is ruined.
So I think I will just run away and take my fabulous new camper van camping....its 38 above, i sweated off one boob, one lantern is broken, the other doesnt have a wick and the flashlight dies. So picture this...I am sitting in the dark saying hi to everyone that is passing by to go pee.....Hi...Hi ...Hi.....
The knob falls off the stove then The WORST of all.....the top of the coffee pot just comes off...breaks....so there I am holding two pot holders pouring through the glass what I can.....I am not giving up the coffee. I dont drink beer but by this time and with the heat I am on my sixth. nap time....
work is the shits,,,everyone wants to quit it is that bad...and I have chest pain.....ug....
Hmmmmm maybe I will go camping next week.......
I never thought it would happen but my mom just tripped and broke her hip. I had flashbacks of her stroke as i sat in emergency holding her hand and trying to keep her calm.
She was a high risk surgery with Copd, fluid on her lungs and an extremely large heart...but she survived the surgery. I couldnt leave her without it because she was in pain.
Now she is stoned on morphine, which I hate because I dont know if she will every come out of the confusion. She thinks she was playing baseball, tripped and got a new leg. She keeps poking me in the eye trying to straighten my part..but then she tells me she loves me or says something very funny. very sweet.
So now its a waiting game to see if she will walk again or need to move to a place that needs more care. Its stressful to care for her and worry. She is like my little kid...or big kid.
While I am doing this..I am holidays so prepare for my friends wedding. It has already been a week of prep, a stagette, shower, now a golf tourney, BBQ, rehersal, wedding and then final day....ahhhhhhhhh
One day at a time......
