Just a vent

Ok I was over visiting my parents the other day. They took B for a swim in their pool and then we went back to their unit.

I was asking my dad about a blood disorder that I remember a cousin of mine has (Hemochromatosis). I then told him that I would be going for a whole series of blood work to do with blood clotting disorders. I told him that because the series of events that lead to Gavin's birth were unclear the DR wanted to rule this possibility out.

Anyways my mother jumps in a starts talking about her upcoming foot surgery. OK here is the vent. Every time I talk about me she starts to talk about her damn foot surgery.

Here is the background. A few years ago she had her large toe fused because she has arthritis. Unfortunately one of the pins is loose and it causing her pain/discomfort. Thus she needs to have it fixed. She has to go to a surgeon about 3 hours away as he could see her sooner than a surgeon here. So they have to go down the day prior for pre-op which includes another set of x-rays and some blood work. I can not tell you how many times my mother has complained about having to go a day early, why do they need another set of x-rays? why can't I do the b/w here? Dr says I might have to stay two nights....

She is acting like this foot surgery is major surgery. Seriously I have little sympathy. I am tired of hearing about it. She never asks me details about my health. I consider my losing Gavin pretty serious. Many other mothers would have rushed to be with their daughter at such a time. The pregnancy was not suppose to turn out that way and has changed my life and my husbands life forever. I am forever broke. If I get pregnant again which will not happen by just BD'ing with my husband it will be high risk, with potential complications, involved weekly monitoring. I don't care about her damn foot!
