crud.
my mom's going in for emergency gallbladder surgery today..

guess she's been in pain for the last few weeks, but my step father assured me it was a routine procedure (gallstone removal) ouch. it doesn't SOUND routine to me, but i'll keep my fingers and toes crossed.

mom's aren't s'pose to get sick. right? first chuck's mama, now mine..

My Mom had to have that!
It seems scary, I know... and she'll have the scar that will make it look like it was major.

But I'm sure she'll be ok! :)
Don't worry!

oh! thanks holly..

that really makes me feel better. i haven't talked with anybody in person yet about the whole deal (only phone messages) and my sister could've set me at ease, being a nurse, but, i haven't heard back from her yet..

so, is it related to high cholesterol?

Well my Mom's cholesterol is wonderful. So I'm not sure...
My Mom had gallstones, that was why.

Maybe its different from your Mom's then?

I know I'd be SO nervous if my parents went under that too... but I'm sure it'll all go perfectly fine.
You think you'll be ok? :)

somewhere i read high cholesterol can cause gallstones..hmm. i need to do more homework. i'm sure everyone's different. glad your mom passed with flying colors.

my sis told me she talked with mom and the surgery went fine, so i'm feeling much better about the whole thing. thanks so much for thinkng of me, though. mommies, they sure can pull at the old heart strings.

Yay, you already found out it went fine!?
I'm so glad. Isn't it a relief!?

And yeah... both of my parents have me worrying about them so often. I don't know WHAT I'll do when I have kids! ha ha
I'll be a wreck. ;)

Pammy

Sorry it took me awhile to answer-I did send you a reply to your message. My computor was broken. They did her surgery laproscopically, so she will have several small scars not a big one. Like she will be wearing a bikini, right? Sorry I couldn't talk to you before and put your mind at ease. Mamas are a good thing, you bet!

Re: Pammy

no worries pammy! i knew you'd be barraged with nursey questions..i figured if it was really serious, i'd find out. it's weird, cuz i had nightmares last night, too. ick. that mom was dead and i didn't have enough time to get there before she died. how original is that? geez.

anyway, good to hear all is well and your 'puter's up to speed again..

oh, and
mom+bikini=wrong.

Re: Pammy

oh, i can't quite say ALL moms in bikinis would cause me to heave dryness. i'm sure many women have the potential for 'hottness,' after childbirth. i just can't imagine MY mother hot, at any age..hell, i can think of a lot of NON mothers that should be thrown in jail for wearing thongs, or other such garb ;-)

isn't that freaky? good news is, surgery appears to have gone swimmingly, so she should be just fine..
thanks for your well wishes ;-)
