Today I woke up and really didn't know what day it was....I think having Thanksgiving in the middle of the week really threw me off.

There is some sad news of sorts. My mom has been admitted to the hospital again. My mom is a diabetic...she's been one for about 10 years. She has some major circulation problems, especially in her feet. She noticed that one of her toes was red the other day and when she went in to the hospital for some standard blood work on thursday, they kept her for a few hours. My dad called me on Friday to tell me that they admitted her because of the infection in her foot. It looks like she will be having surgery again on her toe and that they might just remove it this time to hopefully stop the constant problems. She seems in good spirits, but this is a constant cycle for her...things get better and then the infection comes back. How can she not start to feel hopeless about it?

And at times like this...I wish I wasn't so far away. I know I couldn't do a lot for her if I was there, but just being there would be nice...for her and for me. One of the last times she was in the hospital, I just randomly ended up being home...and it was nice to go in and visit her everyday and bring her things she needs. I miss not being able to do that for her now.

So...if you feel like it, send my mom some good thoughts!
