Hospital crazy week

Well its been another week of visiting emergency rooms and dealing with doctor appointments. This time it was for my Mom .

She hasnt been feeling all that great all summer but we had just taken it to be the weather. She doesnt do that well in the humidity and its been one of those crazy summers. Well on Friday she woke up with her foot completely swollen ( mind you this is her good foot the other one is always swollen and hurts) . So by Saturday morning she was in so much pain she agreed to let me take her to the hospital...when this happened I jumped into action since she never agrees to this.

She washed up and got dressed and we headed off to the hospital to wait our turn. She was taken within 20 minutes after I dropped her off at the ER. --of course no parking in those 10 parking spots in the ER lot... so i had to park around the corner. CRAP!!!

I told her I give it 4 hours --before we know something or are discharged..well ding ding ding. After 4 1/2 hours and blood test, xrays, and many doctors and nurses she was diagnosed with gout in her left foot.

I called my sisters when I got her home..Mom didnt want a family reunion at the hospital ; she thought she broke her foot anyways.

Now after 6 days of Oxycodone , some crappy amber shake stuff, and doctor appointments with her regular Drs she is feeling about 20% better and the swelling is going down a little.

BUT ...... my sisters are out of control now , last night one called and wanted her to babysit next Wed. night for both girls and the other sister had her daughter call Grandma to tell her she cut her hair since the cheer leading sheet said they cant have hair touch their shoulders. " Grandma is going to be so mad at you !!!" is what she told her. I guess 4 inches off one pigtail and 3 off the other. Still waiting for photos .

They havent called or helped out once since Saturday... its been all me making sure she is OK in the middle of the night, that she is eating, that she is taking her meds, that dad is ok and eating ETC.....

Even when MOM is sick they have the nerve to think everything is all about them ! It never changes does it ?
