Hospital, Stress, and Eating Out

Life for the last week has been crazy! Last Sunday night, mamaw couldn't breathe, her blood pressure was very high, her head, chest, and right arm were numb. So we called and an ambulance came to get her. She was going to have a stroke, but luckily that got to her in time. She was admitted in to the hospital, where she has been ever since. They finally got most of the fluid off of her, about seventeen pounds worth of flood. They had to stop chemo and radiation until they can get her red blood cell count back up. We are hoping that she will be able to start back on treatment soon, and come home sometime this week. She looks a lot better, but she still has a long way to go.

So all that happened late Sunday night, and I had my first day of class at 8:30 the next morning. Needless to say I was and have been very stressed! Classes went great however. I love the way they are set up. I have Math, then go directly to Math Lab, Then I stay in the same classroom for my Computers class, I go home for two hours, and then head back for my last class. So I have a break to come home, let the pups out, and have lunch. I have been leaving from school to go over to the hospital when I am done with class.

I needed to start my insulin resistance diet, but with everything going on it is almost impossible. It is a lot easier to pick something up since I am basically on the run all day. Hopefully when see gets home, I can start on it. Wish me luck ;)

college, computers, & cancer

You may look at the title and think wtf, right? You may also think that two of those go together, but what does cancer have to do with them?

Well I am going to start college back soon, which is super exciting and stressful at the same time! I received good news today about getting a new computer, which I need for school. Awesome, right? Well the last part isn't so awesome. Tomorrow is my mamaws appointment with her cancer doctor. I just get more nervous and stressed as the night goes on. It all doesn't look very promising, but I am trying to keep faith that it will all turn out okay.

It just breaks my heart that all of this us going on with her. So I try to stay strong for her and never let her see me cry, but inside I am falling apart. I feel like I am completely losing it. I guess we will see what the chances  are tomorrow.
