Enjoy every minute you have with your mama, and be grateful she is alive. 

I had to re-read you post.   Honestly, I just don't see where she did anything wrong enough to be upset with her.  IMO, she was being thoughtful.  she was dropping something off for you and did call and knock several times each and though you simply were not there.  

Thank you all for the advice.

after rereading your blog, I noticed that you did answer your Mother, so she knew you were all right. At that point, I think she should have waited for you to open the door and not just barge in. You are an adult and despite her good intentions, she knew you were in no danger because she heard you asking "who's there?", she should have respected your privacey and allowed you to open the door. Just good manners/policy imo.

I knew she thought I was ok because she said to  me she thought I was out with my friend from upstairs or out from a walk.  We had just emailed too that AM a few hours earlier.

I agree with Spry...but what if, heaven forbid, you had a boyfriend over or somethng like that? It's a hard call. One night when my Mom was still alive I called and  the phone rang and rang. At first I assumed she was on the phone to her sister long distance but this was going on for a few hours. I called my brother and asked if he had talked to our Mom that day. He said no, but said he didn't think it was a big deal...she was probably on the phone. My Mom never talks for two hours, I pointed out. He said call her in the morning. Will I didn't listen to him. Now this was before my Mom had any health problems but I drove over to my Mom's house anyway. She didn't answer the door. I had a key and let myself in. I found her on the floor dazed and confused. The phone was of the hook.  She wasn't able to move. She had been on the floor for hours.... If I had not gone over, how long would she have been on the floor and how much more damage would have been done ? So I can see it from both sides.

She was worried... she loves you... she made the excuse of bringing soup "in case you were out" so it wouldn't seem like an intrusion (which backfired IMO).  I'd chalk it up to her being worried for her baby-girl and forgive her.

I am sorry.. I fail to see why you are so upset.  I mean I would have been for a few seconds only because of the pounding on the dour rousing me from my sleep.   But it sounds like she was being very thoughtful to me.  and perhaps she was a bit worried with no answers.
