I have to say we've had better weeks. Yesterday about 3:30 am I got a call from my mother. She's in the hospital in Germany with some apparent heart troubles. She's been having trouble with high blood pressure for a while now, but it seems that now her EKG has become "erradic" and so this morning they were going to do a heart catherization with dye to try to find the problem.
She gave me the number to her room, but I've called and called and it doesn't work. Her cell phone seems to be out of juice. Someone was supposed to call after the procedure, but so far we haven't heard anything. We should have heard something hours ago.
Meanwhile, I had called my aunt in Dallas to tell her the news. I thought she could help tell the rest of the family etc. When she called to tell my aunt Ched (my great aunt, but she's the same age as my other aunts) she discovered that Ched was on the way to the hospital. She'd had a stroke and the doctors think there may be bleeding in her brain. There seems to be swelling.
Another aunt has pheumonia.
We're falling apart here.
Not being able to check up on my mom is driving me insane. I'm at work, but having a huge problem staying focused on what I need to do.
When it rains in our family, it poors. When I had my surgery years ago and was in the hospital for months, my grandfather was also terminally ill at the same time. He died a week before I was released from the hospital.
