This is my first Thanksgiving as a married lady as well as my first Thanksgiving away from my family! I miss them like crazy this week and can't wait till I am back home in NY for Christmas and New Years a month from today!
My mom had emergency surgery on her gallbladder on Monday. She had been having stomach pains and indigestion all week and after many sleepless nights, my dad and her went to the ER and she had an Xray and the Dr. recommended getting her gallbladder removed because the formation of gall stones had showed up on the Xray. She had the surgery Monday morning and it went very well, it was a laproscopy and she didn't have to be cut open. She was able to go home Monday night and she has been recovering slowly with pain meds. I wish I could be there to help her and take care of her but I am there in spirit and we have been able to talk on the phone and on skype. I sent her some get well flowers that she got today and hopefully brightened her day and made her feel a little better.
I really felt homesick and helpless when I found out she was in the hospital. Of course, I broke down and cried but my dad and sister reassured me that she was fine and it was a normal procedure and not to worry. I also found out by myself so after talking with my sister and finding out that the surgery went well I tried to keep myself busy by getting my drivers license and going to the library. Its times like these where I wish I lived driving distance away..
Today I am prepping the turkey and making the traditional apple pie, well baking it not from scrach, and making a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! I know its not the traditional Thanksgiving but one, its only my hubby, his college friend, and myself eating and two I thought we should make new traditions and I have never been a big apple or pumpkin pie fan!
Wish me luck! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving for you and your families!!
Aw, I'm sorry to hear about your mom! I hope she starts feeling completely better soon! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your mom. I will keep her in my prayers. You’re a tough cookie, it will be ok. Being homesick is the worst. I feel homesick for my old home that I was practically raised it. It was the hardest thing ever when my parents moved last year. I always seen myself getting ready for my wedding at my parents home, that was so hard for me. Be thankful you still know where home is with your parents. Chocolate cake is the bestest! I love non-traditional things! I hope you have the greatest Thanksgiving ever you new wifey you! Keep your chin up, things will be ok!
ReplyDeleteHey there, so sorry to hear about your mom. I think one of the hardest things about getting married is switching up the holiday traditions. But try to think of all the great new traditions you and the hubs are starting for your own family! Happy Thanksgiving!
