Be afraid, be very afraid.

There's something that I've been meaning to say about a certain "professional" athlete. See I don't follow golf, I'm not a fan of it because it's boring to me to watch. Maybe if I played it I might find it interesting but alas, I do not.

Tiger, or as my family is calling him now, "TOMCAT" Woods has been accepted with open arms back to the profession in which maybe has made him the most successful athlete of his generation. I'm not impressed with his attitude, nor his "playa" ways. In a recent tournament he made some mistakes and then started swearing. Basically acting like petulant child on international television. Yet, he was not sanctioned or disciplined in any way. They SAY he was fined but I doubt that, I really do.

Ask yourself this: If ANY other athlete acted the way he did, would said athlete be allowed to return to that sport as if nothing happened? Would that athlete be allowed to swear multiple times while playing the "game of gentlemen"? The game is boring, yes, but it at least attracted some good people (or at least 'til now).

What makes Tomcat so special? Hmmm...

I'm sorry, I'm unimpressed. It looks like someone did this with photoshop and even still, I just KNEW that the Green Lantern movie would be filmed on nothing but bluescreen with shitloads of CGI and I hate that. I guess I still have to see the trailer and maybe read some reviews first but it will be some time before that happens. I guess because of the pictures of Thor and the fact that Kenneth Branagh is directing I'm more excited about that. Also, Marvel seems to have a better plan than DC.

I guess we'll wait and see...

It was a nail-biting week as my mother was placed back into the hospital with kidney problems. She had to be put on dialysis but only for a brief time and during the weekend things were rough. It turned around though when she was able to eat yet again and she was feeling better. She came home yesterday and though she is still weak and recovering, it looks like she's out of the woods. *knock on wood*

My mother has been nauseous but was able to keep down food which was encouraging. That wasn't the case this morning and up until after lunch. My dad took her to the doctor at 2, and then we got a phone call stating that she's back in the hospital.

Doctors are baffled. I thought they were supposed to be smart.

Needless to say, we're all upset but there was something that made my VERY worried and that was the tone in my father's voice over the phone. He said she was back in the hospital for "the same thing" and yet he also said they don't know exactly what it is. He had to leave for something important (obviously) but he was in a big rush.

I'm concerned yet again.

I just don't get it. If someone is sick, why can't you diagnose it, let alone make them better?

My mother came home from the hospital on Sunday which was a pleasant surprise. I was actually thinking of sneaking in our dog (whom she loves very much) so they can see each other. Putting a patient in a better mood helps them recover, I'm told. But that wasn't necessary.

Turns out she had multiple infections and also developed Pnemonia. Though she is home, she is still rather weak for being dreadfully sick for over seven days now. At least she is keeping food down.

Hospitals are nothing like Scrubs. :(

And I shaved my beard for Mom. She always hated it but I thought it would cheer her up to see it gone. It DID make her smile.

My mother was taken to the hospital last Saturday because she was constantly sick and wasn't getting any better. Turns out she had a kidney infection and remained hospitalized for three days. When I saw her Wednesday morning, I was horrified to see her condition. The right side of her face was swollen and so was her left arm. Turns out she was on an I.V. for all of her time there. She could barely move or talk, I had to help her out of bed. Though she got better through the day, her recovery was going to take some time.

Later that day she had a doctor's appointment and they checked her back into the hospital. Why? Because she had FLUID in her lungs and they needed to get it out. Turns out the let the I.V. in too long. MORONS!

I'm so fucking sick of this shit happening to her. I hate to see her in misery and pain and it seems that during the past few years in particular she's endured more bad days than good.
