Mom's In The Hospital Again!

Well Sunday night my mom wasn't feeling very well. She hadn't been feeling very well pretty much all day actually. She just stayed in bed and either watched her t.v or slept. Late that night just as my dad was about to go to bed she asked if he would take her to the emergency room. I don't know why she didn't ask me, she knows I'm a night owl anyway. But no, she asked my dad, she knew he had to get up for work at 5a.m and it was already around 11p.m. My dad reluctantly got dressed again and helped her get dressed.

They left without even telling me, or even asking me if I wanted to go. They just off and went, I was getting dressed, because I didn't even know they were going until my dad was already dressed and my mom was half-way ready to go. Anyways I missed out, I spent the rest of the night waiting anxiously by the telephone waiting to find out what happened, no call came. Finally, about close to 3a.m my dad came back home to get some sleep for work. He told me before he went to bed that she was admitted to a room which is what I figured and that she had something called Pancreatitis which is an:

Inflammation of the pancreas that results from obstruction of the pancreatic duct. May also be a result of trauma, toxicity from alcohol, infections and drugs. She had that fall recently but I doubt that caused it, as she went to a early fouth of July party some friends of their's were having. I would more likely say it's from her recent drinking. She's also had a bad infection when they performed surgery on her anuerisms. So that could have been a cause, or all of those combined, I don't know. since I don't know exactly which type of Pancreatis she has. There are three to pick from.

I'll keep everyone updated on the health of my mom and what I'm up to.

Anyway, she's in the hospital right now and hopefully they can treat it

Hectic Days

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile I've been pretty busy lately and have been too tired to update my blog. Anyway's here's a summary of what I've been up to. Last week I was busy cleaning just about everything you can imagine. First, I helped my Grandma Fannie get caught up on her cleaning. There is a lot of things she can't do around the house because of her arthritis. That was the first two days. Then on Wensday and Thursday I helped my mom clean the house. My mother's name is Marjorie or Marge for short.

While cleaning the kitchen floor I removed the grate covering the heat/air vent. My friend Matt Phillips called and I started talking to him. Whenever I get a phone call I stop what I'm doing and take a break. Anyway, while I was in my room talking to Matt, I guess my mom went to finish up the floor. She wasn't paying any attention and stepped in the vent, she got a real bad cut on her foot and twisted her hip a little. which isn't good since she had that hip replaced twice. The first hip lasted twenty years before it started causing her pain. She's had this one for a number of years. I eard her cry out and quickly hung up the phone to see what had happened. After letting her hold her foot a bit I helped her up and sat her down in her chair in the living room. I grabbed the first aid kit and disinfected the area with anti-bacterial wipe. Then I put some of that healing cream stuff on it and put a bandage on it.

I swear my my mother is a walking health hazard, almost anything she does anymore is get sick or injured in some way. It really sucks for her. She already had three anuerisms in her brain. Luckily none of them burst otherwise she wouldn't be here today.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I was working on my Grandma's yard and mine. Had to get them looking as nice as possible.
