- H had to work all weekend. This meant I had the house to myself, with no man and no dgos. IT WAS HEAVENLY! (he takes the dogs to work and bring them back all tired. awesome)
- Saturday I slept in, had some chicken curry H had made me during the week and then went and got my nails did with a GC H had given me for mother's day. I think this was the first time I actually have relaxed in months.
- My mom called. She had a fever. Fever + chemo patient = ZOMG HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY. I text my sister (A), who repsonds with, "Mom will let me know when she needs me."
- A is not saying this in a lazy way, she is saying it in snatchface pious b1tch way. Mom ends up texting her several times, telling she has a fever. I t took several times before A ended up taking my mom to the doctor. I think my mom took a few texts to actually come out and say, "I need a ride to the hospital." <- they are a dangerous combo because:1) mom needs help but won't come out and say it, and 2) A won't just jump in and take care of business.
- Mom's shunt was infected. She was scheduled to have a routine surgery done on it today, to clean it. But because of the infection, they had to remove it and put a new one in (which they did yesterday - she made it out just fine).
- This particular infection was very fast acting and was potentially lethal. If my mom had waiting around much longer, things could have turned out very differently. The doctors were using scary larry terms like, "life threatening."
- I hope A had learned that we don't mess around with fevers.
- I dealt with the stress by alternating between cracking out cleaning on the house and laying on the couch for hours. The creshendo of the housework was when I shampooed the carpets. I hate carpet. It's gross.
- I'm wearing my glasses today because I have an eye appt. I feel very nerdy girl chic today. Funny how 20 years will change your perspective on your glasses.
