Good news

I've been away for awhile, taking care of my mother. She had surgery on Nov. 29; a planned two-day stay in the hospital turned into a five-day stay because of some complications. I was her "transition care" at home, with some assistance from my brother. We had a rocky few days at the beginning, but Mom got stronger each day. By the time of her post-op appointment on Dec. 14, we decided she didn't need me to be at her house 24/7. I will go back on Friday to take her to her hair appointment, and we'll do some shopping. Thanks to everyone who sent get well wishes to my mom, the 83-year-old with spunk.
