Home again, home again...

I have finally returned to OK and it is wonderful to sleep in my own bed!!

G&A were thrilled to have me home, smothering me with kisses. However, I think A was used to being the only chick in the house, as we have been butting heads since I arrived home. I can definitely feel "2" right around the corner and I am truly frightened....

Mom is doing great! Still in the hospital as of current, but today she bragged about walking without her walker 4 days post-op! Surgery seems to have been a huge success...now if she can only kick the pneumonia. At least the hospital made good on it and agreed to eliminate all ICU charges....how's that for admitting fault? Mom's homecoming should be tomorrow.

Dad is still recovering too, struggling with his leg/butt/hip pain (probably related to the L4/L5 fractures). L is still in S'port in the role of "case manager" for both. She got him in to the GP today who started steroids to tide him until he can see the orthopedist. He has slept very little in the past six days which has not helped the situation. He tries to be a good patient some of the time....

Planning on a quiet weekend at home, still physically and emotionally resting from the roller coaster ride.
