Mom made it through surgery ok.. They put some kind of suction /drainage thing in her. She will have to stay at the hospital for a few days and then may have to go back to the nursing home for a little while. To those I e-mailed this morning... I am doing better, I did not get allot of sleep last night and then had to be to work at 4:00am It has been a Loooooooooooooooog day.. Still have not looked at my e-mail....Kind of letting it slide right now. I really just want to rest and not think about ANYTHING. Thanks for letting me vent to you all..

Ok so a little update. I guess my Mom's infection is not very good. She is under some meds so I am not sure how correct the info I am getting is. She said that she will need to have that machine on for two months. AND she will have to go back to the "rehab" place. I will be meeting with the doctors on Monday She seems to be taking it ok. She was so worried about her cat and birds. She has three huge bird cages in her back yard. I told her I would go stay at her house until she comes home. My Mom only lives about three blocks from me and I could really just go over there everyday but..... I am thinking that maybe I need some time away. I spent most of today cleaning up the room I am going to sleep in and the rest of the house. Then when I came home I started putting up our X mas lights. So I was hardly in the house at all. Tonight my son went with his friend to his Grandmothers house and I am here at my Mom's, (Someone close by has wireless internet.. I am piggy backing on there's.. I am such a rebel. Today When I have seen and talked to wife she seemed to be kind of "pursuing" I don't mean flirting...but....she was interested in what I had to say and was actively telling me stuff. It's weird because I am afraid to try to "pursue" back. I am afraid because if I do she may back off again. Anyway I am going to see how tonight goes.. If all goes well I just may stay here for a little while. Well I Gota go feed the cat. Be back soon

Hey Doc, Sorry to hear that your mother has had a set back.
Just a thought, but maybe a little space may make your wife realize what she would be losing. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Again, I'm not an expert, just my $.02.

Well The Doctor was soposed to be there about 8:30 am.... Did not show up until 12:00 noon. He said my mom is doing great. I was able to take her out of the hospital today and take her back to the rehab. Place. This is only until I can find and apply for someone to come to her house and change the machine she will need to be hooked up to for about two months. I know the admin at the rehab. Place and was able to get her back into the room with her friend. So I am on night 3 at my mom's house. I have been home everyday. When I do see her she is acting different. Don't know how to describe it.. To let ya in I "borrowed" hope4's letter and changed a few things and sent it to her last night.. Anyway I think this time apart is doing some good. When we do talk. She does not sound like I am bugging her. She acts interested... So my Mom had 2 Crab Feed dinner tickets for next Saturday that she will not be able to use, She said I could have them... When I got home (well back to my house) I asked my wife if she wanted to go. She said "that sounds Great".. I have a question for WDID.... EVERYONE here knows about my "letters". Why my wife does NEVER acknowledges them?

Glad to see you got over your "morning Sickness".. A little more time here... So I got my Mom back into the room where she was in before she got sick.(They wanted $200.00 a day to hold it but I pulled some strings) Anyway you should have been there. Her one roommate was Sooo Happy to see her.(83) and the other.(Now in the bed of the lady that died) is not really all there to know what is going on smiled also. I needed to go home to pick up my Mom's cell phone because the phones at Rehab. Are not very good. When I came back there were 2 other women in their wheel chairs in my mom's room welcoming her back. It was like an old lady slumber party. I guess in that place when one of the roommates leaves they usually don't come back... If you know what I mean... So they were all so happy to see my mom. I got my Mom this stuffed monkey that laughs when you squeeze its foot. They were passing it around and having a good "old" time. This incident with my mom has brought me and my sister closer together but.... I have found that all of a sudden I am taking on more now. I am the one transporting my Mom. I am the one arraigning care for my mom. Ya I know my sister just started her new job and can't take time off but still. It seems that with my marriage, my son, my mom.... I seem to be the one doing most of the work. Anyway.... So when I left I went back to my house. W had made some turkey soup but told me it was not ready yet. I said that was ok I could get something else. They she told me how it was Open house in January at the Junior High my son will be going to. Kind of strange when would be telling me so far in advance but..... Then when I was looking for something to take over my Mom's for breakfast she told me about some leftover hot pocket breakfast things in the freezer. Kind of like she was really interested in helping me. I so much would rather be sleeping n my own bed right now but I do think this time "out of the house" is having an affect on both of us. Like I said last night I am going to try to continue this at least until Saturday night. Ok so this morning after I took my shower I was up a little early and there has been this stuff stuck to the wall in the bathroom.(looks like newspaper pieces) and I was thinking that maybe my steamer would help remove it so after I got out of the shower I plugged the steamer in and the went to my room to get dressed. BIG MISTAKE.... I found out that the circuit for that side of the house could not take the amps and the fuse blew. So here I am sitting naked on the bed with one leg..(Yoyo and Saffie where are you two when I needed you?? Luckily I had a flash light close by. I finished getting dressed and then decided I would worry about the fuse when I get home. I did not want to be poking around the outside of the house at 3:am and have someone call the cops... Well I need to leave work early again today.. I am going to see what I need to do to get home care for my mom so she can come home and I can go home….
