home early from work...
so glad it was my turn
haven't been feeling well since work on Sunday night
when I pulled a groin muscle
then
made a hernia that already needed surgery worse
the patient we were moving wasn't all that large
I've been waiting for surgery
to have enough sick and vacation time
to cover the 6 weeks I'll need
might not happen now
*****
so tonight I'm taking a little hooking break
to get my worms baskets back in order
when I hook I tend to make quite the mess
I've been studying Magdelina rugs this week
my current rug is leaning towards her style
hoping the next one will be even more so
*****
as for Mom
she has good moments
some strung together for short periods of time
mostly
she frets about going home to see her Mom
in case she means she ready to go
I always tell her I don't blame her
she can go see Grandma without me and I'll catch up
sometimes it includes yelling
she says she just has to yell
can only imagine the frustration she is feeling
I scream in my car sometimes
I told her we can bundle her up
then go outside so she can scream
today she said no
but maybe tomorrow...
*****
tonight at work I had a patient a bit younger than Mom
she was there for hours
finally the ER staff was cleared to give her dinner
we had to return for another x ray in her room
she asked about dessert
all we had in the fridge was jello and vanilla pudding
not good for a chocolate loving girl
after getting permission
I ran to the vending machine
to get her some chocolate
she was so happy!
and that my friends is what life is all about
