My Special Mommy

Well, so tomorrow in the morning my mother is having surgery. I am nervous for her but mostly excited because she has waited for what seems like forever to feel good for at least one day. I don't think she has ever had a good nor much less perfect day when it comes to her health. She deserves SO much better than that, and finally, I think she has found great Doctors! I know my grandparents, especially my grandmother is smiling down from Heaven because they too, know how long my mom has waited to feel better! It just seems like it has been one thing after another and hopefully this will be IT.

Above is a picture of the liver and gallbladder. In case you were wondering: #1 is the gallbladder, #2 is gallbladder removal, #3 is the cystic duct and #4 is the liver.


OH -- I should mention the kind of surgery my mom is having: She is having a cholecystectomy, which means they are totally removing her gallbladder because it is only functioning 28% (which is really bad) and she also has a hiatal hernia that the surgeon is going to lower and tighten. They tell her she will never be able to throw up again and will only burp a little bit but not A LOT like how regularly people do.

To never throw up again? Wow. That's nice, I guess. I have heartburn right now just thinking about it and actually, I've been having heartburn lately. I hope I don't have anything wrong with my gallbladder and I sure hope I don't have a hiatal hernia.

This is why I have to start eating right! Check out my new post on Walking Away The Pounds...gosh that needs a new name...and I think I've just might have thought of one. Still in the works though lol!

Well PLEASE say prayers for my mom and wish her luck if you'd like! :D

Love you very much mommy! :D <3

Wow- all the best to your mamá- she seems really supportive of you.
Well, of course she is, you are her child and as a Mom myself, I can relate! You love your child no matter what....you may not always agree with their choices in life, but you love and support him or her always.
OK- one more thought about the age thing...you seem pretty mature for your ripe old age of 23-lol. Y, not to put them down, but estos Mexicanos are not super mature in a sophisticated "rico suave" way, entiendes? They are pretty simple, humble people (and that really is una cosa bonita), so I do not think that the 12 year difference is a big deal. If it were a big deal, it already would have been one puesto que ya llevas mas que 6 meses con él. I mean, if you were 14 and he were 26 (like he said he was- lol), now THAT would be a bit odd (and inapropriate), but I think you 2 are gonna be JUST FINE.

I am so glad your mom is getting the medical stuff she needs done; she'll feel like a brand new women in a week!

Good luck:)
