Today was all about mom. She had 2 appointments: a pre-op appointment with her doctor and a Neuro Psych appointment that lasted over 4 hours.
The pre-op appointment was rough. Emotions are still so raw and new. The second the doctor asked how she was doing, reality set in and there was a weight in the room. We know what is ahead, but it doesn’t make it any easier when you have to talk about it…and today was all about talking about it. After many tears, an EKG, and bloodwork…appointment one was complete! Oh, let me not forget…I see the same doctor as my mom. My physical is scheduled for next week. Do you think that stopped my doctor from asking me if I got my flu shot? NO! I walked away needing a lollipop and it wasn’t even my appointment. #LoveDocAndHateDocAllInOne
The Neuropsychiatrist appointment was more for my mom than me. I was there mainly to fill in any blanks my mom couldn’t remember. I got asked some general questions about my mom and then I was shown the door about 45 minutes later. At 3p I get a text from my mom saying, “I am not doing good.” I responded, unsure if she was out or on a break…nothing. At 530p I called…nothing. Paranoia started to set in, then I finally got a call back just after 6p. I can hear it in my mom’s voice, she was deflated. She was not prepared for all of the questions and rounds of tests she would have to endure. I felt so bad, but knew it was all a part of checking her brain power before and after surgery. A necessary evil, if you will. Now, we wait.
I would be remissed if I didn’t mention who was caring for the minions while I was away. The “Principal” had to tend to the school today. Let’s just say, that little one put forth ZERO effort. AND…ANNNNNDDD…she was LATE FOR MATH! HOWWWWWWWWWWWW??? She failed to do several items during her independent time so she and I had to finish it all after school was over. She had the nerve to be mad! #NoBooSomeOfThisIsOnYou Needless to say, the “Principal” was suspended too. He needs to work on his side-eye with that little one. She will claim done in a minute and be kickin’ it like she just paid rent! Meanwhile, the house is on fire from a candle she lit. #MyPoorChild
Well, that was my day! How was yours?
