Im home now. I got home last night. Moms was doing ok but hurting and sleeping when we left. The surgery went well and she only had one breast removed for an easier recovery. The dr even said she could go back to work on monday as long as she was feeling good and having no problems!
Mom did well up to the surgery, very good spirits as were all 4 of us girls(her daugters). No tears just hugs, kisses and love you and a few jokes here and there. Once she got her funny meds(the stuff to relax you before they take you back) she was so funny! She shook her face at one of my sisters when they walked in the room, kinda slinging her tongue around and making noises...lol very funny! I then asked her, ok mom, where do you hide all your money? She said, in my purse, but I will never tell you!! lol and the last thing, she suddenly had her arm straight up in the air and was waving with a funny look on her face....we laughed and said who are you waving at, she said no one and gave us this look like why are you asking me that! lol Then she went back....they did let her take her mp3 player and listen to it all duringthe surgery, she was lsitening to preaching by creflo dollar and kenneth copeland....the dr even told her if it made her feel better he would pipe her preaching through the speakers so they could all listen through the surgery! Awesome doctor!!
We were all waiting by her room when they brought her in...none of us were preparred for what we saw. She is in visible pain and crying....it was more than we could take. one sister went to sit in the waiting area near by right away, me and my other 2 sisters waited right inside the room, the nurses then asked us to wait in the waiting area till they got her settled....they did but i couldnt leave her, i was so shaken to see my mom like that, i stood outside her room...which I guess was a bad idea....cause apparently, while i waited, I went into shock they said. I knew something was wrong when I felt funny and kinda sick, then suddenly very hot, light headed and lost my hearing...all I could hear were muffled sounds, i turned to the sounds, which was my family, and had I guess what they call tunnel vision or something...even though my family was actualy about 10 feet or so away, it looked like they were 100 feet away and very blurry and then I began to go down. My family took me to the waiting area..trying to get me to respond and drink something...they said my eyes were wide open but i wouldnt do anything or say anything........
once i finally started coming out of it I couldnt get to my moms room fast enough, but i had to still wait as i couldnt stand up or balance myself for a little bit.
It was a hard day for me, worse for my mom, but hard for me.
This morning I spoke with my sister who is still there, she stayed at my moms house overnight. From what she tells me mom is awake, sitting up and wanting to eat, and feeling much better. That lifted such a weight from me to hear that! I want to try and get back down there today again but i dont know how to swing it, she is 1 1/2 hrs or more from me and I have to babysit so i dont know if i can....I will talk to her on the phone in a bit though.
Thanks for praying for my mom ladies...i know there is still a long road ahead with my mom and many other things I still have to deal with in my own family, but one day at a time is all I can do.
