Online friends
Having online friends can suck sometimes in a very big way. Take today for example. I have a good friend that went in for surgery at 10am (hopefully went in on time). It is a major surgery. They found a mass on her lung. Everything is supposed to be routine and even “if” it’s cancerous they shouldn’t even need to do chemo for it. Just remove the 3rd lobe and all is good. It didn’t show any signs of having spread. Of course that is before they get in there.
Now a local friend I would probably be watching their kids for them, or I would at least have the option of going over and helping out while they are home recovering. But since it’s across country from me I just feel so useless! All I can do is sit here and worry.
She has a lot of things going for her, but she also has some not good health issues. She is only 29 for cryin’ out loud. You’re not supposed to be sick so young. She did already quite smoking this year before they even found the mass. So 3 cheers for not having withdrawals and surgery to recover from! Good job girl!
I know my Grandpa had a whole lung removed and that was ages ago, so medicine has gotten so much better since then. But I just can’t stand this waiting helplessly. Thankfully I have sporadic appointments to keep me busy. They are also letting me check in online to see if another friend has heard from her hubby yet. You know, the email tree? lmao
I know I will hear some news in a few hours and I know she is going to be just fine. She has a lot of positive energy behind her. But I just feel like a mommy today and I’m so worried. If I had someone to watch the kids, I’d so hop a plane right now!
