Mom Update

Mom had surgery yesterday to screw a plate into her bone. It looks sort of like a Chuck-It, she said - a cup on one end that the ball of her shoulder goes into, and then a 4-5" bar that screws into her humerus. She'd been in quite a bit of pain all week, while she waited for her surgery, so it was good to finally get it done. They kept her overnight and may keep her again tonight if she is still needing it; hopefully she'll be able to go home and rest in her own bed. The surgery went fine, and she was super sore and groggy last night according to my stepdad.

I'll be going over this weekend as long as the pass doesn't keep me on this side of the mountains, to cook and clean for them a little. Hopefully she'll be feeling a little better by then.

What a good daughter you are! I'm glad the surgery went well and hope she recovers quickly!
