Todaay, I did something I've done before. And it doesn't get any easier.
I left my mom in the hospital.
Just for the night--she had a procedure today that involved some girl parts. Like she said, it's not as if she's going to use them any more.
And I'll pick her up tomorrow and she'll come home, where I'm supposed to force her to walk around some.
But I could tell that she was scared, and I didn't want to leave.
Taking care of elderly parents wasn't something I ever thought about, when I was in my 20s and 30s--maybe was because I was too busy taking care of my little kids.
But it's something I need to think about now.
Sometimes getting old stinks.
