Well...finally heading home

Mom's been out of the hospital for 5 days and seems to be doing okay. No real pain from the surgery (not being terribly mobile might have something to do with that) and she's able to get in and out of her wheelchair and attend to her basic needs without a helper.

Pretty damn good.

Went to see my grandmother last evening while we were on the hunt for another bag for me. She's 96 and still living on her own.

Today Aunt Judy and Uncle Jay will be stopping by to say goodbye.

I have to say that the perks to my mom's side of the family is that they are all very close and take care of each other.

They just arrived, so I'm going to log off.

Love and miss everyone -- thank you all for the support.

Flight update San Francisco...

I realized as I was boarding the puddle hopper this morning that in my need to change flight days I'd forgotten to change it for the last leg of the journey....

*repeat after me*...
"I will never use Priceline or another discount broker for flights that cause me to change airlines!"

So, as a result, I will be spending the night in Boise and catching an early morning flight to Seattle.... seems the only flight leaves 90 minutes before I get there.

Sigh....

It was well worth the hassel to make sure that mom was really on her feet (so to speak) and able to be on her own, but I cannot wait to be back home and in my own bed where I want to be, surrounded by my family, books and cats.
