Surgery Day

Today at 9:00 AM my mother has her hip replacement surgery. I'm glad I have the distraction of being at the dentist at that time, so hopefully I won't be worrying myself into a knot and calling my brother every 5 minutes.

Send good thoughts...

Well Then

Two new people have friended me in just the last couple of hours, and I didn't even do anything special, no community posts or anything, and my LJ has been particularly boring of late. I must be radiating something. :-)

Guess I'd better start a cult while I still have this potentially brief window of charisma.


_{PS- No news of mom yet. Her surgery started 2 hours late, so she's still in there. Will update as info becomes available.}

She Did It!

Mom made it through the surgery just fine! I talked to her and she sounded really good, not even all doped up. And just as I knew he would, my brother called me and said "Mom didn't make it through the surgery." He's still a buttface and I'm glad I hit him so often when we were kids. ;-) But he's awesome for everything he's doing to help mom through this.

So, all's well that ends well. I bet she's dying to smoke, but I don't think they're going to allow that for now. Hopefully her patches will help. beowabbit and I sent her some beautiful flowers.

Thank you everybody for all the good wishes and assurances. I think this is going to turn out a lot less traumatic than I'd thought.
