I am sitting in the waiting room sighing in relief. The surgeon just came out and told me that my mom’s surgery went well. She had a metal rod drilled into her hip. They decided to not do surgery on her shoulder. It should stay immobilized for a few months and she needs to be extra careful. My mom has a long road ahead of her and the hard part starts now. It will be up to her to have a full recovery. The physical therapy will be hell. She will be in a nursing home for a few weeks and she will hate it. Oh well! She needs to start taking care of herself. No more excuses!
As I write my mom needs to take care of herself, it makes me smile. I should listen to my own advice. I need to take care of me because no one else will. This experience has taught me that I have some great friends. I have to remember that I am not alone. I have people in my life that care and love me.
Even after realizing that I ask myself why I am waiting all be myself?
I will end with a happy note. I ended up going to work today. I had a training to go to. The training was horrible, but I got to hang out with one of my favorite people. The training was worth it because we got to go to In n’ Out for lunch. It may not be my favorite place, but the food was good and the company was better!
