liotte - trust me, I have been there.
My mom was very sick for a period of about 3 years - had multiple hospital stays, and in the process, in addition to her actual disease, got menagitas (not the deadly type, but still scary as all get out) and nearly died from an infected pic line (idiots kept sending her home saying it was the flu). She finally had multple surgeries and they got everything fixed.
She is now back to her annoying, crazy, nagging Jewish mother self, and boy, am I glad.
Just wait, give it a bit of time and your mom will be fine, driving you nuts just like mine is!
So, take a deep breath, get what support you can from friends and family, and hang in there. It will get better.
