I am very nervous and a big fat mess!

I am very nervous about my mom's surgery tomorrow. She is having both of her knees completely replaced and will be under anesthesia for about 4-5 hours. Actually the anesthesia part is what concerns me the most because there is always a chance for something to go wrong. I will be going crazy until she is awake and talking to us but I have to put on an act for my father who has not slept well since the day they decided to do this.

My dad is diabetic(just like me)and when he gets nervous, upset or preoccupied he completely spaces eating. Usually my mom is the one who is there to fight with him to make sure he eats and doesn't get sick but she will be a little busy. Because I know my dad pretty well( and of course I wanted to be there for my mom) I took the day off to temporarily fill in for her and make him eat.

I have to admit that diabetes is far from the only thing I got from my dad. I know that I also have the same behavior with eating on time as I mentioned above(just to name one), so making sure HE eats will actually help ME remember for myself. To be honest I have been very preoccupied lately. Between one of my brothers being very sick and my mom's surgery my mind has been going a mile a minute. I can't sleep well sometimes.  I have so many thoughts and emotions going on about everything all at the same time about all of this on top of my wife, my kids, my job, my music group, my work in the garage etc. I am very emotionally drained and it has effected many parts of my life. I try to focus but then I get a phone call or something that sidetracks my my mind. This surgery things will be over with tomorrow and that should hopefully level me out a lot.

My family can use some prayers.
