Hope things are going well now, Sierradane!! Praying and WIshing your mom a quick recovery.

My mom got to go home yesterday!  Her heart DR wants her to be a lower sodium diet which will cut out McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken.. Cashew chicken... boxed and frozen dinners...  even though my mom will say that the only things she puts salt on would be tomatoes and watermelon, what she doesn't understand is the salt that is put into some of the things she's used to eating.

Today, her younger brother is visiting her which makes her very happy.  This is the brother who he and his wife were in an accident caused by a drunk driver.

And yes, snortmort, it does seem like I have a lot going on.  Not only "regular" busy stuff but also drama foo foo (to put it nicely) from my mother's sister.  I have one aunt who tells me to "take care of yourself" to which I reply, "let me look at my planner to see which day is free for THAT."  And my other aunt, my mother's sister tells me, "You need to stop thinking of YOURSELF and think of others!"  (the type of relative who will never approve a FB friend request) 

Thanks to everyone who has kept my mother in your thoughts and prayers. While I do have friends in RL that I value, I also value the friendship I've made here as well.

Congrats Sierra! Glad to know your mother is in better health.
