Good news about my mom. She is doing better....finally. This last surgery worked!!!! Saddly for my poor mother, the whole incident was not caused by what they originally thought.....her gall bladder that they removed during her first surgery. Nor the second thing they thought.......her 10yo hernia with intestines caught in it, that they shoved back in a sewed up during the second surgery. Oh no....it was a a gall stone the size of two golf balls lodged in her small intestine close to her stomach. So my poor mother was throwing up poop for 3 weeks. Disgusting as that is, I can't even imagine how my mom felt about the 'matter'. Small pun intended.
So I went to visit my mom today. She has been in the hopital for nearly a month now and had 3 surgeries. We were talking about how excited we were that everything was back to going the direction god intended it to....you know....the poop! My mom, bless her heart, has the dryest sense of humor. I never get her jokes. So we were sitting there, and she got all serious as we talked about the ordeal, when she shared a secret with me. She said, "ya know I thought I was going crazy the last few days because the poop didn't taste bad to me any more". I sat there, staring at her not knowing if she was serious or joking, and then her eyes welled up with tears, and I knew she was serious, though I was already laughing. Here I thought I finally got one of her lame jokes, and she was DEAD serious. So I told her that maybe that was her brains way of re-wiring her taste buds, so that the torture wasn't so bad. Either that or she WAS crazy, and I would have the doctor admit her to a funny farm, rather than let her come home. Of course she did not get my sense of humor, and laid there staring blankly at me. "MOM....I'm joking"............."oh....ok" she quietly whispered then burst out in laughter. I guess we chock this one up to "mind over fecal matter" and hope we never have to go thru this again! She is back to eating real food, something she hasn't had for a month, and wils be going to a rehab facility before being released to being tortured by me and my obviously great sense of humor....maybe her mind can convince her I am funny........HA HA HA......
