Phone calls I dread

[mizarchivist]

Dad left me vmail at 9 this morning. I got it whenever it was that we left for the diner for breakfast pre grocery shopping.

Mom's in the hospital with diverticulitis and has been since last night. It's apparently a relatively mild case- they almost sent her home with meds, but she opted to stay in and will be until probably tomorrow. I've since talked to Mom and lizard brain now believes that perhaps everything really will be OK. They've given her a CAT scan and they put her on morphine. She didn't get my tabby joke wrt CAT, so we know she's out of it.

I'm about to head to the EOS party for a few hours, but I don't think I'll stay long. I don't want to be crowded into a hot, humid house with a few hundred other people. So hopefully I can find a less busy corner outside and see some folks. If you read this first, I don't necessarily want hugs as that would require touching.

Being hours away on days like this = not. good.
W/ luck, both parents will visit for Columbus Day weekend. Focus on the positive. n stuff.

I'll just give you virtual hugs... no touching required.

Hugs are back on- now that the weather's broken. :)

Today seems better in general. Hopefully she'll go home.

In case we don't overlap at the party, consider this an IOU for a future hug. I hear you, and I'm right there with you, and everything really will be okay.

Much strength for you and Mom.

Im sorry hon. I hope she is not in too much pain and returns home soon.

Hoping it'll be tomorrow. Just called to talk to Dad, who sounded in need of general, non-health conversations. He was in good spirits, though tired (still hanging out at the hospital)--- so, yeah. Thanks.

Missed you tonight, so I'll have to deliver the hug in person sometime. I hope your mom is better soon.

[mizarchivist]

Thanks. I was there for a good 3 hours before I had to bail. *hugs*

I hope your mom gets better soon. I know a little about diverticulitis, and how painful it can be. I wish her good health, and hope you get to see her soon.

Thanks Nikki.

Sorry I missed you at EoS! (We weren't there very long either.) Hugs, and good luck to your mom! I still remember meeting her, many years ago.

She's doing a bit better today, but still tires easily. Thanks

Ah I missed this bit. It was good to see you Saturday.

Hope mom recovers quickly.
