Attended the Target Beauty Premium Skin Care Launch Garden Party (more on that Thursday)
A little L'oreal pampering at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Super Saturday event
Overall, my weekend was pretty great which was a very welcomed change. The last two-and-a-half weeks have been rough in these parts. My mom was bit by a dog and hurt severely. It was a complete accident in that the dog (a dog that my parents rescued) was going after their dog and my mom got in between, and unfortunately her left arm suffered seven torn muscles and two torn tendons.
I was home when it happened and the whole experience was so scary. I've never seen so much blood in my entire life. *TMI ALERT* The insides of her forearm were literally showing and a tendon was hanging out. She had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital where she stayed for eight days. The bite was infected so that caused complications and she had to have two surgeries to repair the damage. It's going to be at least 12 weeks of recovery but we're thankful she's expected to regain full use of her fingers. There was serious worry that she'd lose some to all of the ability to use her fingers/left hand.
My mom's currently at my grandparents' where they're making sure she doesn't over-exert herself and try to use her arm. Hopefully she'll get to head home this week, though. Thank God I was laid off in February because now I can take care of her!
So that's what's been going on with me. Sorry I've been MIA and scatterbrained. Visiting her at the hospital for sometimes up to 12 hours, almost every day, was mentally exhausting. It's probably going to be just as bad when I start taking care of her, so please be patient with me :)
