Post Surgery

I am exhausted. Been up nonstop making sure Mom is okay after these surgeries, doing my usual fretting. She now has a 1-2 inch vertical incision from the bottom of her bottom lip to the underside of her chin. Naturally she had to show it to me (she's such a nurse), it's quite a scar. At least this time it was not as deep as the last cancer. She's quite a sport but I can tell when someone is in pain (red watery eyes yadda yadda yadda)

One would think that her siblings would call and ask after her, but noone bothered til today, and even then they gave a cursory ask after and then delved into their own issues. I give up.

I even gave in and went and got her cigarettes, one of my cardinal personal rules.

Kinda hard to concentrate on too much right now. Doesn't help much to have to deal with poison ivy in 90+ degree weather either. I'm ready to take a blowtorch to my legs just to get it over with.

I'm annoyed at my family right now, extremely annoyed. I'm definitely in my protective mode. Snappy and cranky as hell.

Thanks for the e-mail kitty, I appreciate the concern, I definitely needed that.
