What A Week

A bitch is weary.

Let's recap.

So Monday, B got back from the wedding and I found out that Mom had fallen.

Now, who's mom?

Mom in this story is my mentor's mom. She's 94. And completely clothed in her right mind. She tells everyone that I have a PhD and I'm going into OBGYN and I'm going to be dean when they come in and I'm visiting with her.

Nevertheless, Mom comes in and get's a CT scan and she's got 3 broken ribs. Then the trauma team wants a full workup because she fell. And then she gets admitted to the Surgery ICU.

Sidenote: If I was going to be admitted to HUH, I'd want to go to the SICU or OB. No where else.

So Monday, I was at school until 1:30 am.
Tuesday.....same thing. This was kind of a life changing situation, Mom falling that is. Mom has always been independent. Until the fire, she was going up and down 4 flights of steps in her house. Mom was mobile as hell even though she doesn't drive. Well that's changed.And this is a huge change for my mentor. So I really just wanted to be there for her.

Wednesday...same thing.  We usually get dinner and I work at my desk and she works at hers (both these desks are in her office lol)

I actually had to talk to her about the fact that she was saying that they only needed help during the day. I was like
THATS A LIE! You need help 24 hours a day some days so you can do stuff. You are a person. You have a life.

I also diagnosed a abcess on CT and she was impressed! She was like "I gotta give it to you. You've definitely learned some things being in here while I read."

My response "I know you think I'm playing on my phone but I'm not!" We laughed. 

She's gone now. Conference season is upon us.

And I'm so glad she got on the plane on Thursday to go to Chicago. That's the thing...when you're good to people, others will have your back.

So on Thursday and Friday I went and sat with Mom.
She's much better.
And her only son is in town now!

So I'm off to hike with the math teacher....we shall see how this goes.
