I got a dreaded early morning text. I heard the beep and could feel a lump in my throat as I went to read it. I felt my heart sinking. It is never good news early in the morning.

My son was injured while travelling in Guatemala. The first text message he sent was that he had a rough night and had 'dental injuries' and no care. It was an hour before I heard any more from him and I was panicking. Was he in a place so remote there was no care. Was his jaw broken? Was he robbed? Was he alone? Did he have anyone to help?

Well it turns out he was with a good friend of his from uni. And he wasn't robbed. And his jaw wasn't broken. And he could get to a dentist. He got a root canal on a tooth and hopefully will be on a flight to the US to be with my sister. She is in a much better position to help him than I am at the moment. I have been so stressed out any way with my legal troubles and my history of psychosis and my cat got a weird injury she just kept licking until it opened a wound so now has to wear a collar.

He's supposed to have gotten on a shuttle bus to get to guatemala city and get a flight out tomorrow.

I am so grateful he is with his friend. And so grateful my sister can take care of him. It is going to be a tough night. I feel so sorry for my son.

He was so drunk he doesn't remember what happened but was told that a guy in a bar sucker punched him after he insulted him.

I really don't know what to say to him about that.

I"m looking for advise. Please reply with your thoughts whatever they are. I need some input and to calm down. Try to focus on the positive.
