Me & Ma - please offer suggestions

So I can't believe I posted something about periods this morning when my mums doing pretty badly.

I am 5 weeks post op today and doing absolutely fine, low energy, struggle to drink enough, not enough Protein all the usual but fine.

My mum is 2 weeks post op today, I feel guilty as hell because we both wanted it but I went ahead with it first as she was a little unsure.

Once she saw that I was fine she decided to go ahead, I did tell her that mum you're seeing just the benefits and you're not hearing me whine and complain.

Mums been feeling terrible she was doing okay for the first 10 days or so but since Wednesday she said it feels like something is stuck and she's been woken up in the middle of the night to be sick, feeling feverish, abdominal area and back hurting.

We've just been to see our doc and he didn't give a clear answer however he was panicking and booked her for a CT scan and he made her get bloods made her jump the wait and has fast tracked her results and wants them ASAP.

I'm scared, feel guilty, tired, stressed and possibly maybe wanna cry!

She did have an ultrasound this afternoon that came back ok.

I just don't know what to think.....

    I think it was good that you staggered your surgeries. If something had gone wrong for both of you post-op, you'd both be unable to be there for the other. At least this way, you can be there for her.

  • So she's still feel really bad and she's taken some strong meds to help her sleep. I think we find out in the morning. Thank you for all your prayers x

She's in the hospital, so that is good. Blood clots can be dangerous if they are undiagnosed and dislodge. She is in the right place and is being taken good care of. Sending positive vibes your way!

Thank goodness that she's in the hospital and they are treating her for her blood clots. My prayers are with you. :)

Hey Saira - How's your mom doing?

Oh my so sorry for your mom. Be proud of your success and being there to help your mom! At least your mom is in the hospital and is in good hands. Sending you hugs and positive thoughts. Keep us posted on your mom.

Sorry to hear about your mum, but soooooo glad she's in the hospital with proper care!

Prayers and hugs your way
