holy crap

wow.
mom's in hospital, i'm spending my second night on the built in window seat bed in her room (thank all kind gods she's got a private room omg)

and thank all kind gods i can stick around to be here and cheer her up and advocate for her
and thank Jeff for being supportive of me doing this.

she went in for a bypass surgery. a heart bypass, I think? but the incision is down by her hip in her lower abdominal muscles... and then in a freak of nature her intestines decided to make a break for it and herniated themselves trying to push themselves out through her other sutures.

i know. I'm going "WUT" all the time too.

so after four days of vomiting up All The Things and not pooping, they finally did the right kind of xray or scan and found the hernia, and rushed her into surgery early sunday morning. So she's had two surgeries in a week, and has been in the hospital for eight days straight.

my mom is a bad ass though and her main nurse has encouraged her to "be the squeaky wheel" and she's advocating for herself pretty good.

I'm proud of her.
