wookiemonsterFirst, apologies to anyone whose birfday I may have missed over the past few days. Things have been a little crazy around here...
Mom went back to the hospital by way of ambulance early Sunday morning. She'd been having abdominal pains that got worse throughout Saturday, and her breathing became labored. Anyway, the ER was crowded with drunk UD kids... You know, I used to think of these kids who drank themselves to a danger point to just be stupid. Now I see them as stupid and selfish, as they take emergency resources away from those who didn't choose to do something stupid. ANYway, they diagnosed her with an illius, which is basically nerd-speak for her intestines not starting back up after her surgery. She's also got a mild pneumonia.
Fourteen hours later, they finally moved her to a room. Fortunately, she's in the unit where she was for her gastric bypass.
Currently, her intestines seem to be functional, and there's improvement in her pneumonia. She should be able to come home tomorrow or Wednesday. As I understand it, she's basically back to herself.
Mandie, Rich, and I had taken shifts while she was in the ER until she was all set up in a room. I'll try to stop in tonight for a few, but my priority is to get this place cleaned up a little. I've been taking care of all the pets, and thank gods medications means just putting drops on Rocky's face once a day. The stepgoggies are pretty compliant with going outside for potties and such. But still... The downstairs, at least, needs a bit of vacuuming, I need to cut up some fruit for Yoda, I need to do some laundry, need to make my lunch for tomorrow... I had planned for this to be a nice, relaxing weekend. But then, we all know how my plans turn out...
The important thing is that everyone's okay or will be okay soon. I'll..burn out later from everything over the past two or three weeks. But for now, Mom's okay and will be home in a day or so; and Rocky should be coneless and stitch-less tomorrow morning.
Thanks for all the well-wishes and such. Hopefully, birfday wishes and comics and some semblance of normalcy to this blog will return in a few days...
