my temporarily couchridden mother

my mom was in the hospital two weeks ago. i went to visit her the night of homecoming. she asked me where i was going afterward and i lied to her. i told her i was staying the night with my friend that she knows. the truth is that i didn't stay the night with that friend, i stayed the night at my girlfriend's house instead. my mom doesn't know that i'm bi or gay or whatever, let alone that i have a girlfriend. now my mom is at home but unable to go anywhere or do anything and i still go and stay at my girlfriend's house all the time. i feel like shit for lying to her. she deserves better than that. i just can't bring myself to tell her that her second oldest daughter is bi because it tore her apart when my sister became a lesbian. my girlfriend and i have been together for just over two months now, and we've been keeping it from our parents. i wonder how long we'll have to do this. i'm in love and can't help but feel a little guilty for it.
