My Weekend...
Posted: 05-29-07 08:48am

My weekend sucked.

My mother had a stroke on .Thursday evening and didn't tell me until .Friday. I knew that she was in the hospital and that they had admitted her. I was even with her that evening in the er but she sent me home because she was tired and wanted some sleep. They ended up telling her that night that, that is what happened and she didn't tell me until lunch on .Friday, because she 'didn't want to worry me' evil Needless to say I didn't return to work. She is doing better, they let her come home. I'm just thought she was having a reaction to the cemo that she recently started and felt horrible that I had left her the previous night. But fortunately it was only a minor stroke (minor stroke Rolling Eyes to me a stroke is a stroke) And it is only minimally visible in her face, which will hopefully get better in time.

Then, while I'm in there .Friday afternoon with her, we were talking about me ttc. Well, she busted out with '.Judy's pregnant' Shocked (I have grown up with judy, literally, been friends since girl scouts and the only friend I have outside of my dh's friends) I was really caught off guard by this. I ask how long she had known. 'a little while' Confused Ok, how far along is she? (I assumed she had only recently found out and that is why I didn't know) 'She's 4 and 1/2 months' I wanted to cry. It turns out that she thought that because this was an unplanned pregnancy and my dh and I have been through so much ttc that I would be upset (which, regretfully, I was. I cried most of the weekend) I was so hurt. And I was so angry at myself. My best friend (I'm the only one still talking to her) was so afraid to tell me that she had been hiding it for 4 months. I really was hurt. I bought her a great card telling her that she will be a great mother and that I'm there for her and I bought her a maternity shirt. We had lunch and all is good between us. She needs all the support she can get right now.

Well, enough about me. How was everyone elses weekend?

Christy,

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she is doing much better. Also, I am sure that your friend was keeping her pregnancy a secret out of her best interest for you and your feelings. I know how you feel though, it can almost feel like you have been betrayed. Glad to hear that things are ok between you guys.

My weekend was tons of fun. We went camping on a lake with our boat. We went tubing and spent all day saturday and sunday out on the water. Needless to say I am very sore from the tubing, and extremely sunburnt Sad But we had fun!!

Heather-It sounds like you had a fun weekend. A great way to get your mind off things. Sorry you got sunburt though. I have this great spay stuff I got at walmart for burns. I'll tell you the name of it when I get home from work.

.Lymphoma. From what she has told me. She is responding well to the treatment (fatigue is her main complaint) and should only have to go for about 3 months total. Which, is really surprising but a good surprising.

I'm 21 Wink (I forget myself Laughing )

I'm glad you had a good weekend! Anything special?

Yeah, I know I have plenty of time. I'm honestly not that upset. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I have just been way to emotional lately. And the supidest stuff gets to me. I hope that passes soon.
