I wish I was here on better terms.. but i\'m here to vent. Mom was diagnosed with cancer a week and a half ago. She had a hysterectomy yesterday. I spend the day in Galveston with her. It just isn\'t right seeing your mom curled up in a big hospital bed connected to tubes and wires.. and in so much pain she can\'t even open her eyes.
I have no one to talk to about this.. Facebook is off limits because I have so much family on there and she doesn\'t want anyone to know. The people at work are worms and I don\'t waste my breath on them. Mike does all he can.. I just hate whining all the time about it. So.. there. I vented. Thank you for listening.. reading.. or whatever.

Hi Heather......haven\'t been on here for a while, like a lot of you. sorry to drop in during such a bad time for you. I can relate somewhat to what you\'re going through. several years ago my Dad, who lived in Florida, was diagnosed with Colon cancer and well, I thought I would never get through that. between all the knowing, not knowing, etc... and then adding in the traveling from Indy to FLA.....I thought I would go insane. but then I remembered HIM. it was\'t about me and all my issues, it was about my Dad and his surgery, recovery and spending some quality time with him. he came through the surgery just fine, well enough for him to \'send me packin\' back to Indiana. I was home for about a month and \'got the call\'. I think he just didn\'t want me to see him and remember him those last days.
sorry for being a downer, but all you can do is appreciate each and every minute you can spend with your Mom and just be there for HER. just keep telling yourself that she\'s young, she\'ll pull through this. it won\'t be easy, but you\'re a Mom yourself. you have that motherly instinct and in times like this, it just \'kicks in\'. I know I did stuff for my Dad that if you told me a week earlier that I would be doing that for him, I\'d say you\'re f$%king nuts. but instinct takes over and you just do what needs to be done.
I wish your Mom, you and the rest of your family well. just keep a positive attitude around her and everything else will take care of itself.
