Good Morning...hope you had a great weekend!
This weekend was crazy. I had my Nexus appointment at 12:30, so I knew to leave by 11 because I'm a flip.
My mom started telling my dad and I she was dying, literally dying, at 10:45am as we were both getting ready to head out...luckily her nurse showed up soon after and they made the decision to take her by ambulance to the hospital. This is maybe the 10th time she's been hospitalized since 2010 began. Hate to say it, but I feel a lot more peace when she's in there, because it's really gritty and stressful trying to care for her while I work full time and go to school, completely unqualified to be her nurse.
The EMS guys came in the house and called me out of the bathroom in my robe holding a mascara wand to ask me questions, hope they liked what they saw :24: howww embarrassing.
So I drive to the border, I'm calling people to update them on my mom. My GPS, vague as she is, got me on the bridge (worst nightmare) and I had to beg the officer to let me cut in the incoming traffic on the border to go back. I'm still making ok time, but she tells me it's at the Duty Free shop so I turn there, only to find out it's NOT there, AND I'm not "supposed to be there". Um, ok. I beg the guy to help me and he lets me out and tells me it's down the street.
SIGH
I was accepted for my card, yay.
Get home...only to find our 13 year old sheltie is having a poop-stravaganza in the house. He's pretty sick I think
I spent 11 whole hours cleaning between the days. Didn't need to work out, though!
Glad to be at work :24:

Good to know you were accepted for your card
I am so sorry to hear it had been a stressful weekend for you esp with your mom situation.
Is she feeling better now?

Thank you!
She is riding high on the Dilaudid river, so yes
They are unsure what is wrong, but they suspect the tissue where the colostomy bag is placed is dying.
It is my personal opinion she needs a psychiatric intervention. :\ She hasn't received any counseling or services for what I'm sure is a scarring last two years, plus she already had untreated mental health concerns.

I would be happy on Dilaudid too and knocked out :24:
So she might be undergoing surgery to revise that colostomy area, maybe :unsure:
Shouldn't have a SW made a home referral for psych consult? I agree with you, she definitely needs it

Hey dere!
Yep, they have brought her surgical team in to inspect it, I'm not too sure if that is the plan yet, but likely.
I wonder what would prevent it from happening again, though?
I know there was discussion of it, but I'm a bit out of the loop.

was it 'dying' or 'drying' tissue ? How long had she had the colostomy?
My dad said they told him the tissue is "dying", I wasn't there so I can't be sure, but I think that's what's happening. She had the surgery a bit over two weeks ago.
