Well, shit

[serene]

My mom has to have surgery on Wednesday. She'll be in the hospital for a day or two. I'm leaving Tuesday evening to go help her out (and to see her -- I really do miss her). I'll be back on Saturday. I am totally bummed that she's still sick, but if she was going to need my help, this week is good timing -- I had already taken Wednesday-through-Friday off, for a couple other reasons, and so I'm not actually going to miss any unexpected days at work.

My mom's not that old (if you know how old I am, add 27). It's very sad to me that she's going through so much pain, fear, and vulnerability, but I know lots of you lost your moms lots sooner (or didn't have moms you could count on the way I can), so I'm trying to focus on the fact that I have her to be with, and she has me, even if I am too far away.

Oh, and if my aunt doesn't move out to live with my mom by December, she (my mom) has promised to sell her house and move up here. If that happens, you'll be able to hear my squee from wherever you are.

I found out about this last night. Since then, I can't shake this anxiety. I know everything will be fine, or it won't and we'll cope, but I'm a ball of stress. It'll pass, I know it will. But *sigh*.
