Mum update

[wiseheart]

She's gone through surgery and woke up from narcosis all right. She's a bit confused, but it's apparently a result of narcosis and will clear up in a day or three. At least the very nice nurse I spoke to on the phone said so. Now the thing I'm mainly worried about is her osteoporosis - whether the bone is strong enough to keep the needle or pin or whatever it is they put into it. All we can do is to hope and to pray.

H - Little Emma's grandmother - dug out her old phone she no longer uses. We put Mum's SIM card into it, and I'll take it to the hospital for her, so that she'll have some outside contact, at the very least. I'll write her a user manual with 2 cm large, thick black letters; fortunately, it is easy to use.

That's basically it. I hung on the phone with the hospital and friends (Mum's and my own ones), took her medicines, reading glasses and a few necessities - not to mention her lucky teddy bear - to the hospital and am hoping for the best. After barely three hours of sleep that's the most I can do today.

It's good news that she came through the op. Now it's a waiting game which, in my experience, is always the hardest. You're both in my thoughts.

Thank you, my friend.
