Last night, I watched my mother put in her prescription eyedrops. In the ER. Before we saw the doctor. After she had been there several hours. Before they decided to admit her.
I usually try to read the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt from Linda on Friday. If my Saturday is supposed to be busy, I will write it on Friday and schedule the post to appear on Saturday. Friday afternoon when I read: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “I/eye/aye.” Use one, use ‘em all – just make it yours. And have fun! I fully expected to be leisurely writing my SoCS post Saturday morning before setting out on other tasks or just puttering about the house. No big plans.
Instead a Friday night call from the ER sent me over to the hospital, where I stayed until after midnight. I spent a good chunk of the day there today and will be back at the hospital tomorrow morning while my mom has a test. If things go well, she should be released tomorrow afternoon.
I hope. We all hope.

Thanks, Linda. Yesterday they found and cauterized the source of a GI bleed and we hope that she will be able to return home today.

Phew! That’s good news. I hope she’s fully recovered soon (if not already).

I love the flexibility of Stream of Consciousness, that allows for posts like these. Best wishes to you and your mom. Take care!

Thanks, JoAnne. Mom got to go home from the hospital late this afternoon and I hope that she is fast asleep by now.
