I'm glad that your mother is doing better.
Now, like Meowzer said don't kill yourself over the washer. Just be glad you aren't me and have to do all your laundry at a laundromat. I have to do all my laundry at a laundromat, since I live in an apartment. Today, I got locked out of the laundromat since my rude ***** purposely locked me out. Luckily, I had a key but we aren't supposed to lock the laundromat, and I had to carry my laundry for an extra trip back and forth to my apartment.
