So my surgery is tomorrow - which I'm totally psyched about. However, my mom was admitted to a different hospital yesterday (she's in a hospital on the north shore of Long Island, I'll be on the south shore for my surgery), and is also having surgery tomorow (lung aspiration). My father and brother have to choose who to be with during the surgeries... I hate to think that our family is being split in half during a very important time.

Just wanted to vent. I asked my mother if she wanted me to cancel or reschedule, so we could focus on her. And she got mad at me for even asking.

Thank god they put us under for surgery - otherwise I'd spend the whole time worrying about her.

So please - pray for all the craziness in my family to end soon.

WEIRD!!

Two days before my surgery, my mom was admitted to the hospital too!! She just had vertigo and was fine, but at first, they thought it was something much scarier. I live in California and she in Indiana! I thought for sure I was going to have to cancel and go home!!

Pray and everything will turn out for the best!!

Good luck to you and your mom!

You will be asleep and so will Mom. Your family regardless of where they are will only be a phone call away. You will be up and around quicker when you realize that the soon your walking about, you will be able to visit Mom.

Does Mom have a pneumonia?? Or an absyss? Aspiration is a relatively simple procedure. You need not fret overly about it. I realize that she is your mom, but she will be in good hand as well as you will be. Have your surgery with peace of mind.

Hey all -- Thanks for all the concern,

I came home yesterday (thursday) and mom came home tonight. Evidently - it's cancer. She is a two time breast cancer survivor (double mastectomy) but they found lesions on her lung wall.

She's on oxygen - I'm on enough post-op meds and CPAPs that we look like we have our own hospital.

Keep up the prayers!
