My mom's first surgery
Today is my mom's first surgery
She is having the first hand graft today. They told us to be here by 7 for prep. It is currently 8 am and we are still in the waiting room. I wish they would take her back so I can go get something to eat. I am very hungry. I am not use to getting up so early so being this hungry this early in the day is new for me. I asked my mom for a selfie for my blog and this is what she gave me.
My plans while she is having her surgery
I plan to get a bite to eat first. Then I plan to walk around the campus and play pokemon go because I need something to do and I can not just still in the hospital waiting. I have panic attacks when in hospitals too long. And since we will be here for hours it is a way to keep myself from having one.
Hoping her surgery goes well
They are skin grafting her own skin from her thigh and hip onto her hand. Less chance of rejection. But even using her own skin there is a chance of rejection. So right now that is what I am focused on that the surgery goes well and that her body doesn't reject the skin graft.
Best of luck to your mom! Stay calm and catch lots of those pokey things.
I caught a few. Plus captured a gym
Thinking of you both today <3 <3<3
Thanks @karenfoster it has been a long day. For me anyways it is over till tomorrow unless a complicated arises. As of now I am back at home. First time in days I have gotten back this early.
I hope you get a good sleep and that your mom is out tomorrow! <3
Good Luck D Hope everything goes well Be safe on the drive back.
Surgery went as expected but they decided to keep her overnight to make sure her body doesn't reject it. I just got back home. Ready for bed tbh.
