From the When It Rains It Pours Department...
I just spent the better part of today at the hospital... not for me, for my mom. She was admitted after an emergency trip for a DVT, part of which apparently broke off and went to her lung. Much like my recent illness this also came pretty much out of the blue- she had noticed a knot in her leg the other day (apparently that was the clot) but, except for it being sore she didn't have any other symptoms until it got very sore and she also found herself very short of breath (the lung issue.) Compounding this is the fact that my sister-in-law just had a mastectomy a little over a week ago, hence my brother really couldn't/can't come down from Maine, and my sister lives in the Caribbean and won't be able to get into Boston until tomorrow evening, if all flights connect properly. I'll handle it- I have to- but I'm not necessarily at the top of my game myself, and I have surgery I'm looking at later this week as well.
Not looking for sympathy but I'll tell ya- it's days like today where I wish I still drank heavily.
