Whew... the last couple of days have been a challenge. Mom had kind of a rough day Wednesday, probably because she knew she needed to have a couple of small tumors removed from her bladder today. She really didn't fully understand what or why, and wasn't happy that she couldn't eat after 10 pm. (no late night jelly bean snack
) Then we had to get her up early, no breakfast... but the procedure itself went well. She has a catheter in, but we will go back tomorrow morning to have it removed. We'll find out next week whether the tumors were harmful or benign. Carry out for dinner tonight -- we've all earned it!
I'm so sorry that I was late -- again -- with my challenge and example. When Mom is having a rough day, keeping her safe and calming her down takes up most of my time and energy. Still, we're glad that she is here with us, so we can make sure she gets the care she needs. We owe her that -- and so much more.
