I finally got to talk to Mom on the phone today, after trying many times to get through. My sister Sue says she turns down the volume so she doesn't know when people call her. So Sue had her call me today.
Mom sounds great. Someone spilled the beans about my stomach but I just told her about the ulcer. I see no reason to scare her with my surgery. I also said Mike and I would be there in the summer.
Sue says Mom has no concept of time so if people stop telling her I plan to visit, she won't wonder what is taking so long.
I only pray the healing time isn't too terribly long. I'm resigned to the fact that these stupid tests are going to be on the original dates, not moved up. First one is next Monday.
Meantime, I'm not feeling too terrible. If I am careful of what I eat and how much, I can deal with it. My back is more of a problem since I sleep mostly sitting up and that is bad on the piriformus muscle. Laying down is better on my back but bad for my stomach. I am taking Tramadol each night now just to sleep. I was worried to take too many because I want it for my surgery, but I think they'd give me a stronger dose, anyway.
I just want to be done with this.
