Mom's tooth = a short day excursion for me

So my mom has been dealing with her own health stuff.  Last Thursday, one of her teeth started giving her problems.  She didn't look into until the weekend where the dentist gave her some antibiotics and painkillers for it.  She went today to follow up and it turns out the infection wasn't doing to well and she was referred to a specialist for a later appointment.  After two hours, she had her tooth removed and drained and now has multiple follow-ups with the specialist to see if everything is okay.

I was pretty worried as my mom had basically been laid up on the couch, trying to sleep.  In addition, the whole left side of her mouth was swollen and it looked horribly painful.   She seems to be doing better (no pain due to the painkillers) but I'll have to see what happens tomorrow after her appointment.

I went with her only because we weren't sure if my dad was going to know where to take her.  It was pretty painful moving around and then sitting in the waiting room.  I think this further supports the idea that I need to do something to help with my recovery but not exactly sure what since sitting all day really just makes me feel bad in the end.

I've spent most of the day thinking positive thoughts but also thinking about him.  I know how important getting this paper into this conference was and after missing the original deadline and then not having the website for the poster submission, it was extremely exciting news when we found out his paper was accepted.  I know that I will NEVER fully understand computer science or machine learning, I always wanted to support him professionally.  I hope he does well with his poster session at the conference and hope that he learns and connects with tons of people so that he can be confident about a position after graduation.  To me, in my heart, I think he's the greatest and does an amazing job in everything he puts his mind to.  I know he's not one to brag and take the credit but I wish he would because he deserves each distinction and compliment.  I wish I could tell him all this, especially if I never did.  If anything, I hope he knew that I felt this way about him.
