only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
On The Mend

My mom’s knee surgery seems to have gone well. She’s in the extended care facility, learning to walk on her new joint. She says it’s hard work and painful but it’s getting better every day.
My mother hates to be sick and just wants to be left alone when she is. For three days she kept telling us to just stay home, no visits, because she was so nauseous from the pain medicine she was taking. The doctor switched her meds and she’s doing so much better.
My mother and her roommate have been telling the nurses they’re going to sneak out and head down to the Italian Festival to play bocci ball. Yesterday they joked about having to get out soon for their Alaskan and European cruises. Tomorrow they’ll be teasing about going to Disney!
I’m just happy that my mom is getting back to her old self. I hated seeing her in so much pain and even more, seeing my dad worry about her so much. Honestly, though, I’m going to miss being here once my mom gets home. This has been a really wonderful working vacation.
