Weakness in Me

Good afternnon (or evening)

I have spent the better part of the day in 3 places:

1. Work (at the butt crack of dawn)
2. The highway (to get my Mom back and forth to doctor appts)
3. Hospital/doctor office

I am tired.

Not so good news for my Mom and her liver. Hanging in there but it scares me sometimes and I have to watch it. She relies on me so much I don't have the luxury of looking scared.
And note to all of you liver doctors and specialists out there...Don't make your lead in statement in the medical exam "So you know about liver transplants don't you?"

Not good.

And the pancreas is looking evil as well.

The only good thing that comes out of my multiple visits to various healthcare facilities is the interesting and diverse individuals I get to see. And not just the patients...sometimes the staff is equally as colorful.

While waiting for my Mom to get her bloodwork done a man in overalls kept talking to us about eating rabbits. You don't get that kind of entertainment at home folks.

You know, I've always been strong...and I am sure I will continue to be strong....

Its just you feel somewhat vulnerable when your mother is ill. I remember her holding me and now its the other way around.
