      just over a month ago i found out an immediate family member has to have surgery on their head after non surgical attempts to resolve a serious issue weren’t enough. not quite brain surgery but brain surgery adjacent. i haven’t talked about it much, because i might be in denial?

      the last time a family member went into an OR with a neurosurgeon, they died about 2 weeks after coming out. “post op complications” but really “unforced error by nurses who didn’t pay attention.” that was my mom. i still hold some anger that my mom was unfairly taken from us.

      i also still don’t fully trust surgeons who claim procedures are routine & nurses who are meant to be caring for my family. it’s not their fault, so i try not to be too...much. but i feel like i trusted the system too much to take care of my mom & i won’t make that mistake again.

      i think maybe i’ve been carrying this around, mostly in silence, because the tendency to try to be “strong” is one i’m still trying to unlearn. so truth: i’m extremely scared of losing another person that is close to me. i’m extremely scared of that person even going into the OR.

      the surgery is tomorrow. i will be at the hospital, attempting to work, likely failing, as deep fear isn’t so great for my ability to focus. instead i’ll be asking too many questions and watching monitors, bc i cannot lose another family member to another unforced medical error.

      that the person having the surgery is a black woman and knowing how medicine has treated the pain/suffering of black women cranks my anxiety up to eleven. 😕 anyway please send good vibes, warm thoughts, prayers, healing energy, whatever is your thing tomorrow. i’d appreciate it.

          Deep breaths. Sending love and prayers. Don't be afraid to put aside work while you are fully present for your family members -- being present and vigilant is hard work just by itself.
