A Whole New Meaning

I hate doing these, but today warrants a bulleted list. I'm tired. First day back after 2 days off last week.

- Took Ethan back to his old daycare today. No problems. Got him in and me out the door in 10 minutes flat. He was glad to see his old friends.
- Work. Trying to catch up, but everyone checking on how I'm doing and my mom. Must get MANY things done before I leave Thursday evening.
- Left work at 3:15 to head to a dentist appt. Ethan was supposed to go with me, but because he's got a cold, I canceled his. I went. Nice- stress not only causes headaches, but apparently gum issues. I had my gums irrigated. Not bad - but not too fun in those irritated places.
- Home for dinner. Left Ethan with Rob while I headed to hospital. (6 p.m.)
- Got to hospital at 6:15 - left at 8:15. Dad and my sister were there too.
- Got home, Rob had washed dishes - left me pots and pans. Finished them.
- Ethan to bed.
- I'm checking email and relaxing a little bit before bed. What a day !

FIVE (5) doctors came to see mom today. The surgeon, cardiac surgeon, oncologist, cardiologist and radiologist. The radiologist goes first. He's doing the procedure to cut off blood flow to the kidney Wednesday and said the doctors haven't decided quite yet, but may also be putting in an 'umbrella or filter' in her upper neck to trap the clots incase they travel during surgery which he would do at the same time.
Mom's had so many phone calls and visitors - it's tiring her out and blood pressure getting high (for her). I told her she just needs to tell people she's tired and they're going to have to step out for awhile. They'll understand.

How are all of you doing ?!?
