This has been a lost weekend. I got off early on Friday, in order to go get finger printed for my new job. Marvin, Chas and I went to supper (Chinese), then on to the hospital to meet mom and my niece. From there...it has been a mess. Mom is the absolute slowest person on the face of the earth...bless her heart. It was after noon Saturday before we could get her to the hospital to be with my step-dad, then today, almost 1:00. I am terrified of how tomorrow morning will go...it is the second day on my new job...I cannot be late. Holy cow. On top of that, there is chaos and ugliness going on at their house...prompting a 2 a.m. call from my niece (who insisted on going home...60 miles away on Saturday afternoon). I feel terrible that she is irritating me at every turn...I don't understand her. I am not showing my irritation...but 'not showing' it, is making my jaws ache and my stomach in a knot.
On the flip side...my step mom is doing very well. The hospital got her up and made her walk to the door last night, and sit in a chair for a while. She has two screws in the hip that she broke, and my dad fears that this will weaken her enough that the decision about whether to have the horrible procedure that they have suggested to her (chemo through a port in her brain) may not be an option any more. Her appointment for that should have been next Wednesday.
I just finished reading some 'homework' for my new job...none of which I understand. I did, however, find a website that has shed a bit of light on the subject. Hopefully...it will fall into place.
I'd say I'm looking forward to a better week...but at this point...who knows?
Be Well!
