My mom, my best buddy

For the past few days I have been beside myself because my mother is very sick. My mother has been sick twice during my lifetime  and has never had any illnesses. So imagine my father’s shock  when he found my mother sprawled out on the floor screaming in pain when he got home from work.  He,  my brother and I could not help but wonder how this could happen.

She was admitted to East Georgia Medical Center with a diagnosis of pancreatitis and a gall bladder on the verge of bursting. I on the other hand have been sitting  in my apartment fretting  from 1000 miles away. It’s the first time in my entire life that I’ve been in such financial straits that I can not go home. I have never felt so low.

My mother’s out of surgery now and I’ll pray to the Universe for her.  It’s all I can do for now.
