Today was a very long day for me. I tried to keep myself busy most of the time so that I don’t have to think about it and make myself worried sick. As I was on the way home catching the bus, I got teary-eyed. I was scared, really really scared.
Two doctors told my mum she had gallstones in her body and they both advised her to remove it. She went into the operation theater at 3 pm today to remove the gallstones using Laparoscopic surgery. Called my dad immediately after work but dad told me mum’s still in the theater. I called again at 6 pm but mum’s still not out yet. I was really worried. The surgery was supposed to take only 2 and a half hours. As I chatted to my dad on the phone, I can hear from his tone that he’s worried as well.
30 minutes after that, my sis message me and told me everything’s fine. I was so relieved then. I really thank God for looking over my mum. My aunt took leave to look after my mom tonight at the hospital. Dad and sis is still there. Just gave them a call. Mum just woke up and I chatted with her just for a short while as she’s still very weak and very much in pain after the surgery. However, I can’t help but cry as I talked to her on the phone. She sounded so weak, so much in pain. It hurts me so much as I felt so useless, that I can’t do anything to ease her pain. I’m even crying now as I’m typing this out. I know it’s just a minor surgery but still…

Hugs to you.
hey, now i understand. yea, being unble to help is a terrible feeling. just know that the Lord has your Mum’s health in His hands…keep the faith that she’ll recover quickly. too often we take our health for granted until illnesses strike. take care…
My mom went through this last year around September or so. She ended up having the whole thing removed.
Your mom will be just fine. Hugs to her at this time, still. And you!
It’s always scary when a loved one goes into surgery… but the good thing is, they can come out to be much better in the long run.
I hope your mom has a speedy recovery.

Don’t worry too much, okay? Everything turns out to be fine now =)
Hugs to you. Hope that your mother can recover as soon as possible. Not to worry too much, okay? Will always be supporting you =)
Well, I could remember a few years back I called home as usual. However, after many attempts, nobody at home picked up the phone. Worried, I called mom’s mobile phone number, but then again nobody answers my call.
At that time i was so nervous and worried. I was so afraid that some burglar broke into my house over in Malaysia. Or a fire just broke out. Or while going out they got involved in a car accident… bla bla bla. I was SO scared!
The next night luckily mom called back.She said that she went to my aunt’s wedding anniversary, and she forogt to bring her handphone. Phew, what an experience!
hugs hugs…. there’s lots u can do… not physically but spiritually.. ur mom is in good hands. praise the Lord all went well.
:heart::heart:
aw..she’ll be fine..no worries..my dad had gall stones a few years back and had to go through the same procedure..he was sooo thin and frail from all the pain but was up and about in no time after the op
glad she’s ok now.
hope she gets fully better quickly.
I’m glad everything went well! I hope your mom is feeling better soon.
Your mom should be ok in 2 days. I could understand that you want to be at least there to help look after your mom but what to do, you are so far away. It is alright to cry, you will feel better after crying. When you feel sad, just cry a little, it is ok. *hugs*
