ok so finally I have a moment (and the energy) to post what all has been going on...
mom wound up having her gall bladder removed tuesday morning...it had gotten worse but she thought she might be able to avoid it but then she was sitting in the doctor's office about an hour away from everything and it started doing the spasming and whatever else those things do so they had to bump things up a bit...she did fine during the surgery but I found out the next day that that night when we were speaking and she said the pain meds had kicked in that I almost had had my last conversation with her...whatever they gave her was dosed properly but she's pretty sensitive to meds like that and something happened and they had to scramble to get some other meds in her to prevent a full cardiac arrest...now just imagine for a second finding out the day she goes home that oh yeah, she almost didn't make it...but before she even had the surgery she let me know that she didn't think she could make it to miami...and when I saw her I saw for the first time someone that didn't even look like her...she looked old and sick...that's not my mom...my mom is a bmw racing, cussing, drinking, sports watching hot mama! I was severely rattled at what I saw that night and it got me to thinking about whether I would go to miami or not and just how comfortable I was with leaving her in another state...so I asked her if she wanted me to stay and she said yes...now, I have to explain something here...my mom is not one of those that is scared of having her offspring run off to do their own thing or any of that stuff...and she has NEVER asked me to not do something I had worked hard for...that was it for me...definitely didn't have to say it to me twice...so no miami for me in three weeks...
however...
I was planning on the elite here in gboro that's the week before natls anyway...I wanted to do it for the friends and family that couldn't travel to miami...now, the catch with that show was that it was all for the fun of performing for my peeps no peaking at this show...peaking was for the following week...well now my "pitstop show" is my main show...so I am now scrambling to make up for a lost week of prep! this also means I will probably come in as a mw and not a lw b/c I was right on track to weighin in miami at 115...but we shall see...
so this is the latest...mom is fine right now...dad went up to go get her from boone but he said she wasn't very comfortable sitting up for long periods of time and that they would be staying up there so I won't get to see her now until next weekend I guess...but she is already planning what all we will eat when I am done with this show
