Mothering my Mother

My mother recently had surgery, and she is looking so frail and sad. I hate to see her in pain. I want to be with her at the hospital all the time, but I have to work, so I am so torn. Thankfully, my Dad is spending time with her, something that I wasn't sure he was going to do. He is retired, but he spends a lot of time running a business, and when he is not doing that, he is away in Oklahoma at thier farm trying to get a trailer remodeled, because they are planning to move into it as soon as it is finished. I hope he finishing it soon, because she needs to be there in the country, enjoying her time.

She is supposed to go to a rehab center today for 10 days. I hope it goes well.
My mom is not old, but she seems so frail at the moment. She thought that she would be better after the surgery, not in constant pain like before, jump out of bed and take off. Not so..., she is going to have to learn how to do things again, for a few months she will be having to really work to get back to walking again.

Love you Mom, hope you are better soon.
