I don't understand people who have ill feelings towards their own children no matter how old they are. I just got word this afternoon that my daughter is having her op to have her kidney removed next Thursday and she is 27yrs old. I know she is going to be ok but I am sick with worry. The high that I was on this morning has slid into a low and my seizures have returned (great). Never mind, I knew this was coming. Just thought I'd share.:-(
 
Sandie,

I'm not a parent but i can understand why you would be worried about your daughter, I think a good parent will always worry about their child no matter how old the child is.
I'm in my mid 30s, I have 4 brothers & 1 sister (they are all in their 40s) & my parents do worry about all of us kids. My Mum does worry more then my Dad & out of all us kids she worries about me the most which is probably because I am the youngest & the only one with epilepsy.

Hope your daughters op goes well.

Thanks CQ. I will be looking after her and her my 3 grandchildren (all under 6 years old) for about 6 weeks after the op. It is due to a malignant mass. I am going to love looking after my grandchildren but I wish it were in better circumstances. Thanks for caring x

Things will be ok as you know but that is little comfort to you, there is very little I can say to make things better for you except that I will be wishing you all the best and thinking of you. Please, Please remember we are here for you.

Sandie, you are AMAZING....a true tribute to Motherhood..RESPECT!


Huge Hugs and keep the positive spirit going....you and your daughter will be in our prayers
 
I don't think we can turn off that part of our brains that worries about a loved one (any more that we can turn of the part that misbehaves when we seize). I hope the operation is a big success, and that recovery is swift. Also that you have some help with all that caretaking you'll be doing in the weeks afterwards.
 
:hugs:Oh my goodness, thank you for all your kind words. I had a rough afternoon yesterday and just have so much going on right now. I'm ok (especially with friends like you I can turn to.) I have to be blessed that it is a tumour on the kidney and not kidney cancer as such so the cancer is contained. She will not have to suffer chemo. Liam, thank you for your kind thoughts, Chaz, thank you. I am no more amazing than any other mother who loves her children. There are real superwomen in this world and I certainly don't fill their shoes! I appreciate the hugs (and need them) and the prayers(need them too). Nak, I am very blessed to have a wonderful husband who (although she is his stepdaughter) loves my children unconditionally and is a true rock for me. He will help out in any way he can. Love and hugs to you all
