Final Approach
and how was your week?
My friend Paige (in Germany) went in last week - she's 40 and expecting (week 30) and a few things happened that weren't by the book so she went in. they're holding her for a while to watch her and she's doing ok. If they had to have a baby in a foreign country I'm glad it's Germany!
Gramma next. her 90th was the 17th (Monday) and I was going home last wkd anyway. Got the call a few days before - she's had a heart attack. We all went home, she's doing as well as can be expected for a 90 yr old (pretty darn good actually all things considered). She's full of **** and vinegar and is pretty much tiring everyone out...
which leads to my poor Mom.
11 years ago she had a kidney removed due to cancer. She's done great ever since - bounced right back and didn't slow down. the doc did tell her that sometimes when you have this kind of surgery that sometimes down the road there may be intestinal troubles (I guess due to scarring, maybe adhesion, etc?) and to be alert.
earlier this summer she did have an adhesion of sorts (it may have turned out to be twisted), very painful, she was in hospital for several days, no food and sedated to relax everything. it worked itself out.
she's back. apparently it hurt a *lot* worse this time. I've been up since 5 AM (Dad called) and I'm hoping this sorts itself out as quickly as the last time.
ugh.
