Description

For my mom, and all those who love her, the last few months have been a rollercoaster ride through the healthcare system—a frightening trip that began with a splitting headache, followed by the sudden appearance of two of everything. In the weeks and months that followed, the headaches persisted. The double-vision didn’t go away. The nausea arrived and stayed. The tests revealed no clear cause, and the doctors were at a loss. Right up until they weren’t. Today, after four months of relative hell, I’m delighted to say she’s celebrating her 88th birthday and celebrating with a long overdue appearance on my podcast, where she delivers a full report on what happened to her and how she feels in the wake of a very serious scare. If there’s a unifying theme in this one, it’s probably “TMI,” but if you appreciate a candid conversation between a mother and son, I suspect you’ll enjoy this rumination on my mother’s groin, and other areas of medical interest. Happy Birthday, Mom. And many happy returns!

Hairdresser here! …your hair loss is due to your traumatic surgery…it’s not just the anesthesia…because I’ve had clients who’ve had surgery that was just a routine type operation…with no hair issues as a complication….but when you add trauma into the surgical mix a person’s hair takes a hit… But the good news is, in about 3 months the body starts regrowing that hair back!!🥰💪🏼GOD BLESS!!

When you are in the hospital for a life threatening issue, you lose a lot of modesty. I was in for 26 days. And you learn to be thankful for all the small things: a shower, washing your hair. I cried when I got out of the building-missed the feeling of the sun!

The dryness with which Mom says "You might want to look that up" had me in tears.

My son is a machinest and makes well over $200,000 a year and owns the largest property in his neighborhood. Nothing wrong with hard dirty work.
