Random Thoughts

I just returned home from Huntsville. My sister Laurie is still hurting mightily from her double knee replacement. There were several reasons for doing both knees at once. The one I heard most was, "after the pain and trauma of the first one, you will never have it done again no matter how badly it is needed." Evidently, it is not like giving birth where you sooner or later forget it. After spending four days with her, I don't think I will have it done, I'll just contact those scooter people you see on TV. If they pre-qualify me and Medicare doesn't pay...well, they will give me my scooter free. She was transferred from Huntsville Hospital to Healthsouth Rehab Hospital this morning. She will be there for 12 more days. I tried to talk them into letting me stay with her, but they let me know that everyone there was in great pain and they couldn't have the place full of family 24 hours a day. Visiting hours are from 4 to 8 pm only. Laurie is tough as nails and will be up and taking care of everyone very soon.

Heather resent the darling picture of Chloe, "Helping Mom run errands." Isn't she just something with that purse on her arm?

I'm gonna cut this blog short and shut down my computer so I can spend time with Dick and Rascal Bubba. I missed them so much. Just ain't no sunshine when they're not around.
