Hurdle 1 has been crossed!
Mom finally went into surgery at about 730a. I have never felt so much weight in my life…and I have picked up some quarantine poundage these last few months.
I tried to watch Girlfriend’s to take the edge off of waiting. It worked for a little while. It was hard to really focus on anything. I was, however, able to focus my eyes on GG. I’m pretty sure she got a hit of the same anesthesia my mom did.
After about 4 hours, mom’s surgery is complete. The doctor said that everything went as expected. It is definitely a tumor. The pathology results will take a couple of weeks, so we do not know exactly what kind and if it is benign or malignant. She is being moved to ICU as a precaution since brain surgery is kind of a big deal. She will be out for a while, so it will be uneventful for a little while longer. I was hoping for some social interaction to help pass the time, but GG is at it in the ICU too…
It’s going to be a long night in recovery. I will still be on pins and needles until I know she is up and talking. I pray that happens soon!
More to come…
