Girr, family being in hospital sucks!!!

By LTuser, in X-Wing Off-Topic

A few years back, my brother, who i've been somewhat happhazard with contact with, for a long time, went into hospital for his foot, eventually having to get a chunk of it cut off, inc some of his calf/shin.

Since he got out, his contact with us was even MORE sporadic, other than when he called to see if i could financially bail his butt out..

This afternoon, i had to stick my mother in hospital, and it appears she MAY have had an ulcer burst..

That sort of thing is pretty serious isn't it? Isn't a burst ulcer a kind of internal bleeding? Sounds scary.

It's extra hard this year as well, at least here in Texas. My wife had to go to the hospital earlier this year and was only there for about 4 hours. I couldn't go inside because of the pandemic, she was stuck basically by herself while dealing with something awful inside. It was really hard for both of us (more for her, though, definitely). I can't imagine what it's like if someone had to stay overnight or for weeks.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I hope all goes well with your mom.

IF it IS a burst ulcer, yea it sounds scary. So far, i've not gotten a call back on her condition. So i am keepig my fingers crossed...

Though looking at some of my gaming buddies, i've had it relatively easy. One lost BOTH his mother, mother in law, sister, and two nieces after his 2nd sister miscarried... ALL This year.

Best whishes for your family, I hope you have some one close to help you get trough this.
