Tormorrow I will be taking my Mother to have the tube put in her stomach. I should be able to bring her home in the afternoon. The Dr. is one of the best at this procedure and trains other physcians how to do it all over the country.
I think she will be spending the night with us as I will have to have her there by 7 in the morning. She's not feeling quite as afraid....and part of it is due to you Diana. Since we don't know anyone in dialysis...I told her about your friends mother and that really seemed to help. What would I ever do without you....I just pray I never find out.
I'm surprising Mom this evening. After taking her for her Drs. appt. on Friday, we stopped at the Olive Garden for lunch. We had both been wanting to try some wine, but have never liked what we have tried. We asked for help from the waitress in picking one and she and the bartender thought a wine called Mascoto, it's a white dessert wine would be more to our liking. Well...they gave us a sample and we both really like it. I bought some wine glasses today and hubby is bringing home the wine....so mom will really be surprised. I can't wait!
I would like to ask that you think of Mom tomorrow and maybe say a little prayer that the procedure goes smoothly and that I get her home safe and sound.
Here again...is my mother....
