My mother has had a sinus infection for a few days and for some reason her lip started to swell up. She went to the doctor and they just said sudafed will take care of it. She goes into work at the hospital today and an hour or so later, the admit her to the ER. By the time I'm heading to work, she's getting x-rays and all kinds of scans.
I'm hearing nothing. I text her and she tells me to come pick up her jeep. So apparently she's going to be there overnight. Then she says she'll talk to me later she's heading into surgery. An hour and a half later, I finally get a hold of my brother and of course they are telling him everything. She got a staph infection in her nasal passages and will be in the home in a few days, cancelling our family Christmas this weekend.
Bad enough my mom was admitted to the hospital but people not telling me things really ruffled my feathers.
(Okay. And since I had a sinus infection for a few weeks, I was worried it was my fault. Turns out it's my brother's! As he picks at pimples and got two staph infections in the last few weeks and doesn't wash his hands very often. The guilt wasn't helping my situation.)
