Mum's surgery took place last Monday as expected, and she came through very well. We thought she'd be coming home yesterday but she began spiking a fever Thursday night that continued through Friday. There was also something a little bit off about her bloods, so they held her in a little longer; then when they went to remove some of the wires that were in her, her heart went funny... so she's still in hospital at least until tomorrow.
Success Stories:
I'm still here. I'm still trying.
I've cooked most days/nights this week and did everyone's washing.
I've been mostly following medical advice.
I called the lawyers to chase up that money.
Gratitudes/things that make me happy:
Skype
Giraffes
My friends
Music
Grey's Anatomy
Books
Challenge and cheer-leading statements:
Whatever my thoughts or emotions, they do not make me a bad person.
Maybe I'm not so stupid after all.
Recovery is a rose.
Where I am is where I am. I don't need to put judgement on that.

Not so stupid? My friend, your wisdom shines through in these posts so brightly.
ReplyDeleteI, too, was gonna say... Maybe??? Drop the maybe, and make it an entirely positive... You Are Not So Stupid!!!!

I hope your mum gets better soon my friend. It's awful when you have family members that are sick, it can be so taxing. Good for you for still being positive even when it's tough :)
