I'm going with my mom tomorrow

[simplyn2deep]

Mom asked me if I'd go with her to the hospital when my dad goes for his surgery and at first I said no. I have the presentation on my family and the rest of the review for the final going on.

Then I thought about it. She's not going to have anyone there with her. I can be there with her. They leave at 5:30am for the admittance or whatever, so theoretically I could go to the hospital and from there go to campus if I won't get to class late.

So I emailed my professor and let her know what was going on and asked if I could do my presentation on Monday if I wasn't able to make it to class.

Now I'm nervous waiting for a response. She says she checks her email at night and in the morning, but I'd prefer to have a response tonight so I'm not worrying about that as well.

I think, though, I'll play tomorrow by ear. I'm not going to rush out and leave my mom alone at the hospital. I'd be worried and distracted while in class.

eta: Heard back from teacher. I can do my presentation on Monday. One less thing to worry about.

Never an easy decision to make especially for someone who's not keen on hospitals but your mother will undoubtedly appreciate the support. I'm glad your teacher is understanding of the situation, and I hope everything goes well

thank you. everything went well, I saw my dad for 15 minutes or so and he was okay, if loopy from the anesthesia.

It's 6am your time, I think. I'm thinking about you and your Mom and your Dad. Good on you for bucking up and going despite your apprehension.

Thanks. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, but the waiting was so utterly boring. Two of the 3 electronic devices I brought with me died halfway into the wait and silly me, I forgot to bring any chargers.
