well i woke up at 7am after going to bed at 4am to see my mom off to the hospital for her surgery. im now waiting for a phone call to hear how things went and if i will be able to see her today. this is very very stressful.
i wasnt really worried at first about the surgery but i realized how serious it was last night when she told me i was gunna have to sign some paperwork. i read over the stuff and i had to sign one paper that would make me the decision maker for her if she was unable to decide for herself (basically if she was in acoma or something), like if she was on lifesupport it would be up to me whether she would remain on it or not, how f#cked up is that i can barely decide on a major for college and if necessary she wants me to decide on her life. another one was in the event of her death i was to make sure certain tests were performed. this really freaked me out. i have had many surgeries and have never had or seen any of this paperwork before so it made me realize how serious this was. i guess before i was just telling myself it wasnt a real big deal.
most of you are prolly wondering what kinda surgery, she had a surgery in late 96 to try and remove a tumor and at that time they told her that they couldnt remove it and that she had 18 months to live. well back in 97 she had really major surgery for that same tumor in her abdomine. They broke almost all her ribs on her right side and she lost her kidney & adernal gland. No one could figure out what caused the tumor but the suspicion was on the breast implants she had years ago that might have ruptured causing silicone gel to migrate thru her body could have caused the tumor to form.
todays surgery was to try and remove the scare tissue that has formed adhering her abdominal muscles to her intestines and rib cage which has been causing her alot of pain and incovienence for the last 7-8 years.
thanks, i talked to my dad and they have her in ICU now. i guess shes been outta surgery for about 2hrs but she was in the recovery room for a while before they moved her to a room. visiting hours are over for today so im going by tomorrow morning.
I know how scary it is to wait for a family member (especially one of your parents) to go through surgery like that. My dad had a 13 hour surgery 3 and a half years ago. I wish you and your family the best. I really hope everything turns out okay.
im terribly sorry to hear about that..i truly hope everything comes out ok my best of wishes to you and your mothers health my heart goes out to you
