This morning we headed out to Southern Regional for mom's surgery. I cannot express the emotions I have felt all day. Worry, stress, a feel of being alone, concern, hurt, hope it really could go on and on.
Mom's surgery was scheduled for 12:00 but, was pushed back until after 2:00. The surgery itself lasted almost 3 hours. During this time I didn't know what to do. It was such a odd feeling knowing my mom was in a cold operation room while me and few others sat in a waiting room talking, playing on facebook, & eating.
Dr. Hines finally came out to speak to us. He said the surgery went great!!!! After about an hour later we finally got to see her in the recovery room. We all got a chance to go in and see her. A little later everyone headed home and I stayed with mom. Not long after everyone left the nurses started visiting us every few moments. Mom and I even went for a walk!
As mom got comfortable in her bed I sat in the guest spot for the night. Again, more emotions! Even though we had been told things were looking good I couldn't help but, to worry. I kept thinking about the things I want to do with mom and things I want her to see me do. Ya, know like become and wife and mom :)
After I sent out some emails and updated family & friends I shut my laptop down and talked to God for a while. He always makes me feel better!
