Sunday... went to church by myself aaron had a rough night and was up at 4 am...... I was not in the mood to try to keep him still at nap time in church... came home aaron was napping!!! yeah...... DH, aaron and myself went to visit my inlaws.... When we get there my MIL has gotten really sick over the last week..... She has really bad heart failure and is now entering her last few weeks if not days.. she was looking a little better the week before.....
Monday.... I spend all morning getting the paper work straight to get my MIL a lift chair, potty chair and a walker..... then after lunch spent all afternoon getting hospice set up for her..... she has made her wishes not to go to any hospital or anything invasive done very known and I wanted to make sure her wishes were done...... not a fun day.... very stressfull!!!! came home finished packing aaron up and took him to my cousins to spend the next 2 nights....
Tuesday... 9 am had a job interview..... pray I get the job!!! its 5 mins from my house and a internal medicine dr with BENIFITS!!!!! 10 am check in to the hospital to have my gallbladder removed..... waited in a metal chair for 1 hr and 45 min for a bed.... 2:10 finally on the way to the OR. in the OR for 2 hrs finally get to my room at 5. spend the night in the hospital..... btw morphine sucks..... it would ease the pain off for only about 30 min at a time.
Wed..... come home at 11:00 am... spend the day asleep in bed or on the couch..
Thursday 4 am get a phone call from the hospice nurse..... we need to get there ASAP MIL is not doing well at all...... bang on the neighbors window cause they wont answer the phone..... leave aaron sleeping with neighbor asleep on our couch and head to MIL house. MIL is very sick but pulled through the day and was resting when we had to leave to get aaron from daycare at 5.
Friday...... MIL had a good night and slept all night thanks to oral morphine...... get a call at 9:20 DH is on the way to Urgent Care a peice of a rear end that he was helping someone work on flew off and hit him in the head...... he got 5 stitches.... 10:30 I go for a followup with my surgeon, he said everything looks great but take it easy......still no driving.. I am not able to return to work until tuesday possibly longer...... my boss gave me alot of lip about it even asked me if I asked for an extra day off........ WTF!!!!! I asked the dr if I could return to work on monday and he said no way..... Since the surgeon shares the office with the Dr I work for he knows I run my butt off every day at work and will not release me until he thinks I am ready.... I am glad he is standing up for me anyway......
Sat and Sunday pretty much the same... sleep as much as I can then after aarons nap we pack up and go to my MIL's house..... I am exausted.... mentally and physically drained.
Needless to say I am ready for a different week........ I know things could be worse but I am hoping for a little better next week...... we still have my MIL dying so its not going to be great but her not suffering any longer will be a good day........ Please keep my family in your prayers
