My Breast Cancer Story, Eleven Years Later...here I go again.

My mom had her surgery today and everything went good. They said that they will be getting her up tomorrow to move around a little. I couldn't be at the hospital today because last night around 9:00 my stomach started feeling weird. By 11:00 I had a full blown stomach virus. I was so sick and all I could think about was my mom's surgery and how I had to be there. Megan took great care of me, but I was so bad that I almost passed out. I was up every half hour until about 7:00 this morning running to the bathroom. It was not good. I finally remembered that I had some compazine left from when I was having chemotherapy. It helps with the upset stomach. I took that and went to bed all day. I am still feeling crappy but mostly tired. I am just happy that my mom's surgery went good. I talked to her on the phone and she sounded good. I am off to bed so I can rest up and see her tomorrow. My head is still really fuzzy.

The Orthopedic Surgeon came in and said he would be doing the surgery tomorrow. He said it was an odd break so he will have to put a wire around it. He will also have to put some pins in. He also said the tendon will have to be repaired. He told my mom the worst part of the surgery will be 8 weeks in a cast from her thigh to her foot. She is doing better now because they are managing the pain. As long as she doesn't move it's ok but if they come in and try to move her leg she feels it. I brushed against her foot and it really hurt her. I got the heebie geebies..lol. Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it so much.

I just got a call from my mom and they are not doing the surgery today. I am headed up there now to see what's going on.

Just a quick entry to let everyone know that my mom stepped in a pothole in a parking lot coming out of Bingo! She broke her knee cap in two places and tore the tendon under her knee. She will be having surgery today. She is in a lot of pain but I think the pain meds are finally kicking in. When I got to the hospital and saw her knee I could not believe it. It looked like the size of a grapefruit! Please keep her in your prayers tomorrow. I know that the surgery should go well but I know that she is scared. I will update when I get back from the hospital later today.
