My mom is pretty much my best friend. I either talk to her or see her pretty much everyday. Well...she's been having some chest pain and they did a stress test and found nothing but since they couldnt figure out what was the cause, they decided to do a heart cath, to look around. They did the heart cath yesterday and found one of her coronary arteries is 90% blocked and she could pretty much have a heart attack or stoke anytime. She is now having open heart bypass surgery tomm morning. I spent most of the day today at the hospital with her and making plans to take care of her dog, make sure my dad's taken care of, having my lil sister (who's 13) stay with me, etc. Planning/taking control and taking care of things is how I deal with stressful/scary situation. But now, theres nothing left to plan and tomm morning I go and just wait thru hours of surgery and hope my mom ends up ok. I just don't know how I'd cope if something happened to her. I've been absolutely positive around my mom and showed not an ounce of fear, but inside its killing me and im just sooo worried.
I know you guys can't help, but I needed someone to be vulnerable to...showing fear/vulnerable emotions isn't something I do very often, it just makes me feel weak and out of control 
Hopefully tomm is an active day on Aug12 board cuz I'll be sitting in a waiting room hoping for something to distract me.

Feel free to let it all loose here, anytime. We are here, with open...eyes.
I'll be sure to be a PW tomorrow, just like any other day!
Good luck to your mom! I'll pray for her tonight!
SCANDAL!
Ohhh my gosh I'm so sorry to hear this
I do the same thing, though, in a time of crisis - organizing, planning - it's healthy.
I hope you get some sleep tonight. You can't think about the negative, it doesn't change whatever tomorrow bri
Please keep us posted!

My mom died when I was 7 months pregnant and I was super close to her too so I know how hard it is. Hopefully your moms outcome is a good one!
