Earlier in the week, mom figured that we weren't going to go to Calgary since the weather is pretty poor at best. This suited me just fine. Kyle's a big boy after all, he can go visit the doctor without having to have mom and me hover over his shoulder. But no. She's going to endure the long trip there (against my wishes in several ways) and we might even have to stay overnight if the weather turns bad.

That is unacceptable in my eyes. For most reasons that she SHOULDN'T be travelling! Doesn't anyone but me realize the gravity of the situation? Mom, you're recovering, you shouldn't BE in a vehicle! But no. She wants to go there and then we'll probably go to Susan's where Kyle's stays and UGH it's a round trip of more than five hours. D:

I should be trying to reason her out of this anyhow. I mean, it's her back. That's a LOT of sitting altogether. 2 hours there, 1/2 to an hour fighting traffic. Wait time of 30-40 minutes for Kyle to get into his appointment with Dr. Latigan. Back another hour to fight across town. Drop him off, mom'll probably want to visit too if Susan's there. Best case scenario if she isn't then we fight across town for another 30 min to another hour, and take a two hour trip back home.

Yeah. Doesn't anyone else but me see this is such a BAD IDEA?

EDIT: Bad idea resolved. I called Kyle asking if he was already planning to come home and he said yes, so collectively talked mom out of coming to Calgary.

Gogo power of brotherly effort.
