Wednesday, Mom is going in for a procedure on her eye called a vitrectomy. Because of bleeding from the vessels in her eye (she's diabetic) they will remove the cloudy vitreous humor and replace it.

I guess I also need vibes that I will be able to take care of her and that my back will not be hurting as much until she recovers.

Vibes on their way, Jan. I know nothing about that procedure, but I hope it goes well and she has a speedy recovery -- and that tending her needs isn't too much of a strain on you.

Good thoughts on their way! I know how upsetting it is to have parents that are facing surgery (or anyone close for that matter). I hope all goes well!

Aw, good luck & vibes! (((()))) for both you and your mom. I've had a couple eye operations and there don't seem to be many nerves there - not a lot of pain with those - hope that helps!

Brought Mom home about an hour ago and she did just fine (day surgery). Her eye is covered for now and we have a check up tomorrow. The worst part for me was sitting in the waiting room chairs and the long hallways (well, they seemed long to me!) and the seemingly long walk to the van in the parking lot.

We picked up some roast beef sandwiches on the way home and she had to share with the kitties so she could eat hers in peace! Ari had no qualms about sticking his nose right in the sandwich instead of waiting for her to hand him a piece.
