Mama is finally out of the hospital.

It's been a very busy month of February for me and my Mama. February 2nd - She had to undergo cystoscopy because doctors found multiple lumps in her urinary bladder. Her cancer was found to be the aggressive type. February 19th - Ma underwent radical cystectomy. Doctors removed her urinary bladder, uterus and ovaries. She spent 7 days in the hospital and was discharged just yesterday. I'm so proud of my mom for being so strong and independent. She's 81 years old. She does most things by herself and lives by herself. For now, I'm the only one who accompanies her to the doctors and does the legwork and paperwork and stayed with her day and night at the hospital. I thought I was going to pass out from exhaustion! It's a good thing that someone came over last weekend to stay with her at the hospital. I slept the entire Saturday and got plenty of rest last Sunday. Yesterday, I settled all the hospital bills and doctor's fees and had a driver bring her home. We've arranged with someone to be her temporary caregiver while she's recovering. I'm glad she survived the surgery. There are more checkups to follow. In the meantime, I shall help my daughter again with her college applications and continue keeping house and doing other stuff. It's good to be busy.
