Kole having some bumps along the road was only a start to the whirlwind that was today.
The worst part was finding out my great grandmother has fallen and broken her hip. Luckily, I think it was a blessing that I was able to sit with my mom when we were finding this out since she and Kole were in College Station trying to get his license. Mom and I instantly had the same response... is great grandma strong enough for surgery?
I instinctively flashed back to when Gramma Max was in the hospital. We didn't think it was anything major at the time. I was still living at home, and my parents tried to protect Kole and I by not telling us all the information. I am still freaking out wondering what is really going on, and so scared that if something does happen that I won't find out until it is too late. My stomach is still flipping in nervousness, and I know that I won't find out if the surgery went okay until my parents wake up in the morning, assuming that they tell me exactly what is going on.
I'm so thankful that I have been busy tonight. I texted Jen and Katie before practice telling them what's going on, and them, along with the rest of the team that was at practice did an excellent job of distracting me from thinking about Great Grandma, and provided some much needed laughs.
When I first found out about Great Grandma I texted 3 of my best friends from camp asking for prayers. Laura called me after practice to make sure that my emotions were in check, because she knows I tend to freak out and work myself up very easily where my family is concerned. After talking to Laura and allowing her to talk about her kids at work and all of the crazy things they do, I went back to my dorm and have begun to immerse myself in studying for calculus. This will keep me occupied until midnight easily, at which point I am hoping to have atleast semi-mastered the concepts I need to know before my test tomorrow, and then will hopefully be able to go to sleep. I only have my calculus test in the morning, and then will be able to drive home for the weekend.
Ultimately, I'm so thankful for a busy night and for my friends keeping me in check and stopping my mind from wandering to worst possible cases.
