Hello all! :)
I really need to vent right now. Back in the day I would have turned to livejournal or some crap like that, but I deleted it long ago. I'm really nervous and scared, and just need to acknowledge it to someone--just to let someone know, hey, I'm human, and experiencing real human emotion right now, and quite frankly I am terrified..
My grandmother (read: my mother) is having some very invasive heart surgery first thing tomorrow morning. There is a chance, albeit small, that she will not survive or will take a stroke or something awful. I've been just keeping it in, coping, doing all I can to get through each day with all the resources I can muster. But right now, I'm so scared, and I can't imagine my life if something were to happen to her after this surgery.
She has this tachycardia issue that's most likely a complication of her lupus. At 75 years old, this is a scary thing to have. Sometimes she will be sitting and watching tranquil television, and her heart rate will rush to 280+ beats per minute. We don't know what's precisely causing it, and her surgery tomorrow is intended to find out what the cause is. They have to trigger an episode via an invasive surgery, and then try to repair her problem. I don't feel good about this. I'm scared in all honesty, truly terrified, because if something were to happen to her, I'd literally be all alone, left without any family structure, truly on my own.
I need her. I need her to get through this, to emerge as strong as only the Grandma I know can. I just ask of you, my friends at TPM, to please keep her in your thoughts/prayers tomorrow morning, today, whenever it is where you are. I need you to do this for me, TPM.
You guys have treated me like family for many years and the hospitality I have encountered when meeting many of you tells me this is true. I might need you more than ever. You are all amazing and inspire me. Please just keep this in mind. I'm really hurting right now, more than I've ever hurt before, and what I need is friends, because if I am left without any family, all I will have is my friends.
Please, Gabi, Gus, Becki, Jeff, Kirsten and the rest of you amazing people, think of me tonight and tomorrow morning, think of the amazing woman who made me into the man I am today, and if you still have her in your life--call your mom. You don't know when it will be the last time.
Wishing you all the very best...
