when it rains it pours.

Been a pretty crazy 3-4 weeks. My mother has not been feeling well. Vertico, head aches and blurred vision and finally nausea and vomiting. We took her to the dr 2 times, for an mri and got some antibiotics to help. She would seem a little better one day and then the next a little worse. So I have been cooking/cleaning/washing and doing the majority of the work to help her. Monday she started throwing up and got worse so we took her to the ER and they admitted her. They said that she had too much liquid in her head and did a spinal tap to relieve it and thankfully she is feeling better now and might make it home tonight.
As if that were not enough, dad would normally be a big help but he actually went in for a hip replacement today and needless to say the past 3-4 months he has not been able to get around all that well. Thankfully I have been feeling better then normal the past few weeks to be able to take him around for his different appointments to prep for surgery as well as help mom. Thankfully his surgery was successful and he is happy to not have his hip hurting him for the first time this year.
So then of course, this morning I wake up with a normal bad morning. I say normal because I wake up %99 of the time with stomach pain/nausea and running for the bathroom for one reason or another. Occasionally I will wake up and not feel bad but on those days I am normally just waiting for my stomach to flip and ruin my afternoon. On a good day it calms down maybe around 10-11 but normally I am not up/around till 2-3. On a bad day like today instead the pain gets worse and worse till eventually it makes me start to throw up. Finally after 5 hrs of that I said F-it and had my brother take me to the ER. So not we have mom on the same floor as me but different wing. Dad is in a different hospital 10 mins away and my poor brother is now putting up with 3 sick family members going between us to bring things or just keep us company.
I always knew that our immediate family was good and strong. I am not saying that we don't bicker or get on each others nerves but when it comes down to it and we need help we know someone will be there. Thankfully my brother has had some issues finding a job and was able to come up and help us out.
Now you want to know what really sucks about all this? I woke up Monday and did a quick check on the box mike sent me with the F1 gear to see where it was. It was not supposed to be in till wed/Thursday so I was amazed to see that it cleared customs Friday in California and somehow had made its way all the way to Indiana on Monday. I think he sent it wed/thurs and needless to say I had been just dying to get my hands on it to hook it up/test it out and basically just fondle/play with it all. I thought to myself "how could I be so lucky?!". The package arrived at the time I was making dinner for mom/dad so I threw it upstairs to check it out after dinner. So after dinner I am just cutting the box open when dad says mom just threw up and wants to go to the ER. So I took her since again he is not very good getting around then and spent the next 5 hours in the ER and her room. By the time I got home I only had enough energy to inspect them but not hook them up and since then I have not made much more progress on it and needless to say this weekend I will not get any further on it.
but anyway I hope everyone else is having a good weekend and doesn't need at the moment but has a great family to lean on when you need them.
