Meine Mutter ist in den Krankenhaus.

... except she isn't yet. As of 11am she will be, though. Bits will be removed from her on Tuesday afternoon, and the finished article will be returned to us on Wednesday 26th, assuming all goes well. I can visit her any afternoon apart from Tuesday, but she will have tubes stuck in her until at least Thursday, and she has been told to tell all squeamish people not to visit before Friday.

I am trying to write this in a humorous and slightly ironic tone to disguise the fact that I'm worried. I'm sure thousands of people have the same operation every day and manage not to die, but they're not my mother. I could get someone else to nag me, push all my buttons and make me scream with frustration, but it wouldn't be the same.

aber habe ich keine schlafen gehabt so apologies for my shit german!

Hope ur mama is ok, its always really scary when people you are close to have surgery and stuff... Hope all goes well...

My experience is its worse waiting than it is doing, once she's 'ill/surgerying/surgeried' its less bad and I go into coping mode, and when its all over crash at some point.

Hope you have lots of people being nice to you too, so you can be nice to your mum.

Hugs

I love that ... and it reminds me that I loved the previous comment someone made about mothers being so good at pressing the buttons because they had sewn them on ...

BUT anyway, and more than that, all BEST WISHES to your mum for a successful and minimally traumatic time in hospital. Strength to you to help you cope.

Huge Hugs!
