On June 3rd, my mother is going to have knee replacement surgery and on June 4th, my mother-in-law is going to have surgery due to diverticulitis. My mother-in-law lives out of state and my mother is going to another state to have her surgery.
The timing for all of this is both a good thing and a bummer because it is the very week my husband and I planned to take a vacation with our children. It is a good thing because we will both be off from work and available. It is a bad thing because we have not been able to take a vacation in a very long time.
With the prevalence of MRSA and many other opportunistic organisms, I worry about the risk of nosocomial infection. This worry is in addition to all of the other concerns associated with a loved one who is ill, having surgery and hospitalized.
Despite my worries, I will be fine. I do wish to request prayer for my mother and my mother-in-law. I love them both very much.
Sincerely,
Gehanna
