Lordy this has been the longest week....my Mom was admitted to the hospital last Wednesday with a UTI and a stone that is in her main bile duct coming from her liver. This could be a very, very serious situation if things begin to change and it backs up in her system. The plan is to do the procedure tomorrow to remove the stone and then follow up with a gall bladder removal withing a day or two after. She is 83 yrs. old and has heart and diabetes issues as well. She is scared and quite frankly I am a bit worried for her as well. Can she withstand the anesthesia for that long for the surgeries? What do we do once she comes home? We all work and cannot be home with her. I have taken three days without pay already to be at the hospital with her...can't keep doing that! This is sooo hard. My one sister has just recently gotten custody of her two very young grandchildren so she is unavailable to sit at the hospital with Mom for a shift and my younger sister will visit, but only for an hour or so because she has a busy life. My brother is too darn busy with his fishing tournament this week....so that leaves me to sit at the hospital for 10 hours a day to deal with the docs and all. I am exhausted! Enough complaining....
I got a lot of sewing done in the weeks prior to all of this. I made 14 aprons for gifts and donation to the church fair. I made a set of three cosmetic bags for a gift, finished my block of the months, and made two quilts for two of my son-in-laws for Christmas. Thank God for my quilting and sewing...it keeps me sane!
I am going off to get some lunch and then off to the hospital to spend a few hours with Mom.
