A Not So Good Start To The Week!
I've been dealing with the Mom situation for four days now, not to mention the months of agony she's been through. The operation went ok. Doctor says he thinks he can do her treatment right in Watrville. If it turns out he can't, she'll have to go to Boston for treatment. We've made it through the not feeling so good from the anesthesia and now we've moved on to the irritability. She is negative about EVERYTHING. The service from the nurses suck, the housekeeping doesn't clean good enough, the food sucks, she wants to come home. The last part I can't blame her for. Nobody likes being in the hospital. But in all reality that is the best place for her. She has it in her head that she is coming home tomorrow...she wishes it was today. I am in hopes that they keep her intil the end of the week. It will give her wounds time to heal and be properly cared for. She has a very long road ahead of her. Maybe months. And there's still always the possibility that she may lose her foot from the infection. I don't want to see that happen so that's why I feel she should suck it up and stay put right in the hospital. Most people that know the situation agree with me, except for two people. Mom and Dad. And I don't know how to make them see it differently. Anyhow, after a long and trying weekend, it has flowed right into this week. I know I can still be the good daughter and make it through it but boy, is it getting to me. I have a headache that won't quit and no energy so I just sit here and watch tv and try to re-coup before I have to head back to the hospital. I am also trying to entertain my 12 year old that only wants to spend some quality time together and enjoy what's left of summer vacation. Hubby is on vacation from work starting Friday so hopefully that will help ease some of the pressure I'm under. I'll keep you all posted and hopefully the next post I enter will be a happier one. God, please help me through this! Evjoy your week everone.
