you all are wonderful. thank you for the comments, the thoughts, the prayers, the emails, the text messages, the phone calls... everything.
surgery went well. mom was in good spirits last night. i've been practically living there with her the last two days and plan on continuing that until she gets discharged. thursday might be the day. if her physical therapy goes well and she can manage stairs she'll come home this week... but if not she'll stay in the hospital for a bit to start rehab.
things are looking good... she's off the morphine now, she's sitting up for a few hours at a time, she's taking a few steps... right along on schedule.
it's been a damn good experience so far. her room is wonderful and FULL of flowers from various friends and family. makes me happy to know that my mom has just as many great people in her life as i do.
the downside, of course, is the uncomfortable chairs, the sterile smell of the hospital, and seeing my mom all tubed up and stuck all over with needles. and i don't like seeing my mom out of it and scared and the like. she's always been a rock... especially for me... so i guess it's just time for me to return the favor.
pain is a part of this. and i'm really trying to appreciate it.
i'll keep you all posted.
