Hey America how are you????
Jun. 5th, 2008 09:56 pmAlright internets, I need your prayers, good vibes and happy thoughts.
My Mom awhile back hurt her toe (long story, hilarious too) and unfortunately it hasn't healed so well. Partly because of her diabetes. So today she goes to the doctor and they say, "if we don't remove this toe, you will not be so well."
Scary.
So she is in the hospital and they are going to remove her big toe tomorrow morning. (hopefully just the big toe)
The hard/scary part is they want her to take two weeks bedrest. My poor Mom, she was going, "I can't. I have to work. I have to work."
When you are a single working Mom with no health insurance, this is a very very very scary thing. Her house payment situation is good, so we aren't too worried about that. (it is the stuff like utilities, groceries and gas that worry her, but I know we will figure that out) But still. Not to mention her boss is a bit of a psychopath and might either reduce her hours to nothing or outright fire her if it becomes a "problem". (As in, "oh my god, you are taking two weeks off, how dare you, even though you have been a loyal employee for years and years and years.")
Totally and utterly illegal, but it happens.
Plus even if my Mother did sue, what would she do for money in the mean time eh?
So I know my Mom is worried.
I hope my Mom's psychopath boss will not go to such lengths. If she does, I will hunt her down and hit her in the face with my handbag. And folks? My handbag is heavy and vicious. You don't want to face my wrath. I will ruin that bitch of a boss with my every being. I can do it. Trust me. I can do a lot if you anger me.
You know how far my ire goes? My awful estranged Father doesn't even live in the same time zone as me. That is why my anger can do.
I admit to feeling a little worried. She is my Mom. I love her to pieces. I will do nearly anything to keep her safe and okay like I would with the rest of my family.
I made her laugh tonight by saying, "thank goodness you aren't relying on your flamenco career to keep you going."
So yeah.
Need the prayers that everything tomorrow will go okay and she will just lose her big toe. And that everything over the next month will be okay financially. And that her boss doesn't dare to mess with the family. Because really? I don't think the woman would last a day if she crossed us.
In cheerful news I bought a gorgeous eyeshadow.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meowlet gets points for talking me into it. I feel pretty.
I will try not to grumble about the lack of socialized medicine in this country. Not tonight. I just want my Mom to be okay.
