Stressed out!

I am totally stressed out! My Mom doesn't know anymore than she knew before her appt. yesterday. She has an angiogram at the hospital on Friday. They ordered a chest x-ray to look at her lungs again. She's just being run through the mud. She lost an additional 12 lbs. in one week. She's frail and extremely weak. She's bed ridden and in a wheel chair when she is up and around. I'm confused and just want some answers for her.

I decided that I would paint my hallway ceiling today to take my mind off of my Mom. Jacob was in MDO and I was home alone with Joshua. I taped the ceiling off along the walls and I'm about to dive in. When Momma is doing home projects you know theres stress in the house.

Monday is my pre-op for my upcoming procedure. I'll get the bowel prep instructions and probably pre-register for the surgery center. Third time for a Lap so there's nothing to anticipate that makes me nervous. I just fear that I won't be able to carry another baby, which would be the worst outcome ever. Just praying for positive, good news there. It would be nice to actually get pregnant and have my Mom here to see her last grand baby (from me anyway).

A-So sorry. I hate laps, I've had two myself. ICK! ICK! ICK! I'll be thinking of you!

Doctors are really good at keeping everything a secret aren't they? It really ticks me off sometimes. I realize why they do it in most cases, but a little communication goes a very long way. Good luck!

Sending prayers up for you and your Mom.

Oh, how I understand how stressful it is waiting for tests to be done, and for some damn answers! Waiting is the worst.
I am like you in that when I'm stressed, I do a project or clean my house. It is a good idea to try to take your mind off your mom. I think it is so frustrating to know there is nothing you can do but wait. I pray that your mom will have answers soon.
I also pray that your surgery will go well, and yield some results that may give you an answer as to why you haven't gotten pregnant, and that it is fixable. I wish you peace and calm.

Thinking of you and your mom. What color did you paint your ceiling?
