Mom's doing great!

April 6th, 2006 at 11:15 pm

The surgery went well...and my mom is home in bed, resting. She had to have a repair on her fistula...(the artery used for dialysis)...Without going into gory details, I will just say it was more complex than we planned, but it will keep her current fistula working a while longer (take good care of your kidneys, this dialysis is no fun!)

I have been trying to have lunch with my former boss for 3 weeks now...and I keep having to cancel (last week I was sick)...and today was supposed to be lunch...but because of the surgery and my dads subsequent surgery consulation..I had to cancel again...so i stopped by the florist and got him a bouquet of spring flowers ($9.95) and went and saw him and cancelled in person. (He was the coolest boss, and is such a wonderful friend- he totally understood and we are going to shoot for next week....(keeping my fingers crossed)

I bought my dad and I a mocha while we waited at the hospital ($6) and I had to get gas ($27)...so today was definately a spend day...but well worth it!

My dad's surgery is on the 28th...so my mom will have tome to heal before it's his turn.

Hope everyone else's day went well!

    My FIL was on dialysis and you're right - it's no fun at all. He was constantly having problems with whatever veins/shunts/wherever they were trying to stick him! Good luck with everything...
