Can I skip Christmas?

Well the last week or so has been completely overwhelming (some good...some bad)...and I'm not handling it well.

First the good..my youngest son who was stationed overseas is home for Christmas.  He leaves the day after but I will take what I can get.  He is also spending most of his time with his friends and brother (who lives an hour away from me) so I won't get to see him much but again I will take what I can get.

There have been some changes at work.  New hires...new manager.  None of this is necessarily bad...just different and something I need to adjust and get used to. 

Also work has slowed down and I don't do well with to much time on my hands. 

My Mom received some bad news last week and had to have emergency surgery.  Which happened yesterday.  She is ok...but now there is the recovery. 

She had breast cancer in 2001.  It came back 5 years ago as lesions (everywhere).  For the most part she has been ok with the help of medication however its not working as well as it has been and a tumor formed. 

She is 80 years old.  Over the last 5 years it's been one thing after another.  I worry...

Now with her being in the hospital, I'm unclear as to our next step.  She had this same surgery before on her right side and had to go to physical rehab afterwards for short term care.  I'm assuming the same will happen now but her doctor is saying "we'll see"  WHAT DOES THAT MEAN! 

Christmas is next week.  I'm not ready.  There are still gifts to be wrapped, cookies to be baked, food to be purchased and prepped.  I can't get a definite answer from my kids when then are coming and now I need to figure out when/where to visit my Mom.

Like I said...I'm overwhelmed.
