So far, I had a wonderful week spent with my Bro Ricky and Sis Eileen and my nieces Erin and Meghan.  Came home with bronchitis, got Mom home, ans she was sick a wek later. Moms spent the last 2 weeks in Virginia Beach General Hospital in the Cardiac Ward.  About six or seven blown IV's later, she finaly gets the pick line I nagged them to put in on the second day she was there.  Then I go to the Doc n the Box because the bronchitis isnt getting better.  The doc has an IV stuck in me and oxygin up my nose and sent via ambulance to the ER.  I begged em to take me to VBGH so I could see Mom when they let me out.  Which against their better judgement, they did. (THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT! I LOVE YOU!!)    8 hours later, two bags of IV fluids, some steroids, benadryl, some pills and a Cat Scan later, I got to Moms room by 6 am.  Yup, she wondered why I didnt come see her, as Ive gone to visit her in the hospital every night shes been in after going home to shower and change my clothes first, and stayed till time to go to work in the morning.

I finaly get home after Dave (LOTS OF OVER TIME LOVE DAVE!) picked me up from VBGH and got me to Patient First to pick up my car, so I could pick up my pre-scripts, shower and go straight back to work.  A work they call me to tell me they are sending Mom home.  Ok, no sleep, two days at work, no sleep and a crap load of meds pumped in me, i go home and wait... No Mom commeth.  She desides to stop cramping my style and wants to go live with her best friend who hasnt visited her in 2 years... Ya. like thats going to happen... I gotta drive back to the hospital and talk her out of her histeria, get her home, feed her, go pick up her prescripts, and get her ready for bed.   48 hours and no sleep.....  I just want 2 days of rest from taking care of Mom, going to work, and just veg out and SLEEP!!!   I got some sleep today, but the house is trashed and I need to get some of it straightened befor Moms Nanny comes tomorrow.   FAK FAK FAK!!!!

Can I at least rent some one to take care of me for a few days???  No, cancel that, I really need a hug, some uninterupted sleep and some alone time at the moment.
