My Mom is in the hospital right now. It's serious. She's going to need surgery. In the end she should be alright though. In fact, the doctors say she'll be much, much better than she's been. However, this is not a diary about that. Her hospitalization is only a starting off point. This is something that's been in my head for several days ever since she entered the hospital.
When the ambulance was rushing her to the hospital on Thursday afternoon the first thing I did was pray that she was going to be okay. That's obviously not turned out to be the case right now, but in the end it will be. The second thought that entered my mind was, "Thank G-d she has health insurance." That such a thought should even enter my head is a national disgrace.
