Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes

Well we are almost there, tomorrow is the big day I don't know how I have held on this long.. At 1:00pm I call the hospital to find out what time her surgery is going to be and then I hope that will be the last thing to do before the BIG event.. I am a reck right now crying and praying that all goes well I am an only child and very very close to my mom...
I have to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me and my mom, at least you understand what i'm going through, and it is nice to be able to post and read on the boards. Since my mom is from Germany I have told her that after the operation and recovery she could even go back for a visit, another thing she wanted to do but had no strength for... I will try to keep you guys posted but it probably will be a couple of days since I am going to stay in Albany untill she is out of ICU..

Hugs For Now,

Carolyn

Carolyn, best of luck to your mom tomorrow.

Nancy used to have a list of things for relatives to take to the hospital - I haven't noticed it posted for a while. It included really sensible stuff like immodium, Tumms, aspirin, kleenex, money/change, reading material, some wipes, chapstick. I guess I'd add a couple of disposable toothbrushes, some snacks & gum. If I were waiting these days I'd take a portable DVD player and a couple of movies. Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to be at the hospital all day.

Also - please don't judge how well she did by how she looks immediately after surgery. IT IS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. And that's not taking into consideration all the tubes and wires and beeping machines, etc. My husband wouldn't talk about it for months. I think HE had PTSD from the whole thing.

Hope all goes well.
