nwr: really sad**UPDATE

So I wanted to thank all of you for your good thoughts/words about my mom's surgery today. But last night, there was a problem with the pre-surgery (which was a tube inserted into her leg to prevent blood clots) and my dad took her back to NYC emergency hospital. They've been there all night, and it looks like the tube is going to have to come out. That means no surgery. I'd give anything to see my mom stand up straight and be able to walk more than 10 steps without being exhausted, but I guess some things are not meant to be. Usually when stuff like this happens I tell myself there's a reason, that things happen for a reason, but I'm beyond upset. Im at work right now and have no idea whats going to happen. The major surgery is definitely off. My mom is over the whole thing. She was scared as it was, and now that this happened she'll probably never go back. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel so helpless and sad and angry...




*****My mom is STILL in the hospital. The docs cannot get the tube out of her vein and it is pushing on a nerve. She's on a lot of pain meds and dad said she's really out of it. They have to keep her overnight and try again tomorrow. They are not even sure they'll get it out without resorting to major surgery. They said she is the first one this has happened to in 2 yrs. I just don't understand.... *****
