Yesterday I thought I was struggling... Boy was I wrong.  Today, today is the day of struggle.  I found out this morning that my mom was hospitalized last night.  The doctors found  out that she is anemic and diabetic.  In a normal person, that wouldn't be a huge problem, its treatable.  In her, its a problem.  She has lost 50% of her blood in her body and so the doctors have to give her 3 transfusion on monday.  If she doesn't reject the blood, in a week or two she has to have major surgery that should in theory fix most of her problems with anemia.  BUT... the doctors don't think that she would survive the surgery and are forcing her to sign a waiver saying if she dies during the procedure that they are not at fault. That is NEVER a good sign. 

So my plans have been changed indefinitely.  I'm going to use my networking prowess (I hope) to get a job at least in my industry where I live so that I can be near my mom and help her out.  There is no way I could leave her when she is this sick.  That's just a horrible thing to do. 

Anyway, that's it for now.
