Nothing serious we hope, but she's a cancer survivor so it's always scary. There's always that threat lurking in the background.

Your mom, a cancer survivor, is back in hospital? Nothing serious you hope? Please do let us know, if you want, as you find out more.
I'd be losing it too if my mother were in hospital. It does sound as if you are being realistic about the fact that you aren't dealing too well with your parents aging. There are plenty of books at libraries and bookshops about aging and ailing parents to help you (I hope that is).
I worry about my remaining parent quite a bit. Fact of life. Just do.
Glad you are a bit more grounded. Do take care and good luck with mom's health.
