There must be similar services for people recovering from surgery, if there's no one else. Check with the hospital, check with your insurance, see if there's anyone who can call or come by once or twice a day and make sure that you've got food and water and that the pets are fed and all that jazz-mo. A hospice care organization, maybe? I know that there are in-home care services for the elderly. There must be similar services for people recovering from surgery, if there’s no one else.

I wonder how many there are like me that occasionally need a temp mommy. And thinking about that, I bet there are Empty Nest Mommies looking to mother "location orphans." Or is that kind of creepy?

I almost thought that I had got problem with the gall bladder before xmas. I had pain in my stomach and couldn't eat properly for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure now if it was something else or not... It's horrible to not know if it's going to start again! Good luck with the surgery and afterwards. I do believe that they are much better on doing this surgerys nowadays. That 1 of 300 might be people in worse condition. than you are, so I think that you've done the right decision - to avoid future damage instead. Just get rid off it :-) Sorry though that your Mom couldn't come, but surely they don't send you home if you're in bad shape? I can relate to the feeling.

I just keep thinking about how I had to go to the ED after the kidney biopsy and how it's such a long drive (45 minutes) from my house to the city and that I'd have to drive myself and it was very unpleasant driving home from the ED after passing the gall stone with no drugs. I'm just going to hope that my mom changes her mind or my aunt questions her about it or my dad does or something...I'm trying to be understanding. Really, I think I'll be fine. I'm just being a ninny. When I had eye surgery, I went home and took care of myself. Of course, she lived in the same city and could be phoned...now she's across the country. Eh. I'm just going to focus on making a list of the books I want to read during the two weeks I'll have off and make sure my house is clean. ;) True.
