Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 becky, It's funny, 'cause my Mom stayed with me for a while after my surgery and she went shopping and filled my house with things that she thought I would need (and probably secretly thought that I wouldn't have). Stuff like Comet, and napkins, tea bags and sugar, and tampons and q-tips. I love her for always wanting to take care of me, ya know? But part of me is like " Mom, I'm a grown woman of 33 ... I have these things in my house already " . Then, low and behold, I used up the whole box of q-tips! I'll never stop my Mom from stocking up my house again! I'm glad if we were able to help you keep calm recently. And I'm even more glad that everything is okay!
