Homecoming

Mom made it home from the hospital on Wednesday. I apologize that I did not get a chance to update everyone sooner, but it has been a hectic end of the week. She has been resting comfortably here at home. She is in virtually no pain. This is not due to heavy dosages of pain medications either. She is not taking any pain medication, only an antibiotic. She says she feels fine, and is up and about the house at any given moment. Mom is still taking it easy with lifting, dressing, and cleaning, but is able to check her e-mail, feed herself, and talk on the phone. She could probably do a lot more if she wanted, but there is no need to thanks to many helpful neighbors, Jill and I, and a home health care nurse that will be dropping by the house a couple times a week. Even though she feels good, she still needs to limit her activity to allow proper healing and make sure the drains come out on time.

She is well on her way to her way to getting better. The sunshine that we have had the past couple of days sure doesn't hurt things either. Mom is eager to get out and walk the dogs again.

I will continue to keep everyone up-to-date on her progress. As always, that you all for your support.
