Neverending MBRO memory thread

So here's a breakdown, the procedure they did today is temporary for the time being. They got the stints in each kidney, but instead of going through her urinary tract, they have 2 lines running from her back/side to two small bags on her legs. They want to make sure it's going to work, and help, before they put the line all the way through. While understandable, she's just a little upset right now. She still has to have the bag on her stomach, and now two more on her legs until they see if it's going to work. She started crying a little, and was telling me she was sorry for having to look like a freak. It broke me, I don't care, but I feel awful that she feels like that. I imagine it would make anyone feel funny, but I just want it to help. I don't care about what it looks like.

She’s not a freak; she’s The Bionic Woman!!

Seriously, hoping that this interim stage is just that, and that they’ll be able to do the permanent routing soon, and most importantly, that this adds some time to her kidney function. Get well soon! (It always helps when the last of the anesthesia finally percolates through.) #TiffanyStrong 💪

I absolutely hate to see her and your family go through this still. 😞

Yeah, she's still not fully back to herself. I need to run to town, but middle girl is at work, so I'm not going to leave her alone right now. I mean little bit is good help, I just feel better when they're both here. I left her earlier for about 30 minutes, but she was asleep.

I hate it for her. I mean it sucks watching, and not being able to do anything. While I don't care about the look of it, it does trigger thoughts about her health/life. I've said before, none of us know when our time is up, but if nothing tragic happens, then I may have to face the reality of all of this getting the best of her eventually. I hate myself for even having those thoughts, but logically I know you have to in life. I just don't know what I'd do, much less being strong for the girls if something does happen. Hopefully it's not something we'll have to deal with for years.

Remember what I always say, this just ONE moment in time and will not last, may seem like it, but it won’t. You’ll be a stronger family and will appreciate each moment you have. Easy for me to say now and probably not what Tiffany wants to hear, but she is a superwoman in our eyes.

I told the girls back when we watched captain marvel, that while it was good, their mom was a real captain marvel.
