This just gets more fun every day!

Mom will likely spend at least six weeks recuperating. The good news? We are almost a week into this already. The bad news? Have you looked at when Christmas is?

We keep having fun conversations with helpful health industry persons, like “Would you like us to rent you a wheelchair?” “So she can push herself in circles?”

I kid, of coruse, overall, the health people are being great. But they can’t magically make her better, which of course is all we’re asking. So for the forseeable future I’m home every morning, my wife is home every afternoon, and we pray that we don’t have to make any bathroom runs at 2:00 AM.

(and on the wheelchair, it was brought up as an option so she could get around herself, but our house has small level changes that even a healthy person would have difficulty with in a wheelchair, and the front porch/front door would be simply treacherous; I quickly ruled it out. Even if she could use a wheelchair with a broken arm).
