Thanx fruitmeister!

Greetings! Stitches (and a million staples) came out and the surgeon says she's doing well. He suggested she get out, get a little fresh air and do some walking to strengthen her legs. When they're stronger, she'll be able to drive again. (about a month he said)

Yesterday she walked up and down her street. Was very happy to be out. The weather was pretty nice. Having a pretty mild winter here so far. (seems all you Aussies out there are getting all of our snow! )

She was concerned that she had little or no appetite and the Dr. said that once she's more active, she'll want to eat more. (sounds logical) Good sign is that mom's decided to halt the meals on wheels thing...meaning she wants to eat her own cooking again. I think she was tired of tuna sandwiches and cole slaw.

Thanks everyone and a very Happy New Year to you all!

YO frootsie!

Spent a large portion of the day at mom's yesterday. Seems she has dispensed with the walker altogether and just uses a cane when she goes outside. I caught her bending over and moving a coffee table at one point and had to scold her and tell her not to over do it. She said, "You're right." That woman is certainly on a mission! Phew!

Since we're quoting old songs....Go granny, go granny, go granny, go! (though she's never been to Pasadena)

Hey Asha,

To me, England's weather means damp, rainy and chilly. That's waht I've always heard. (never had the pleasure of visiting...always wanted to, being the Beatles and Monty Python nut that I am) I'm in the US in southeastern Pennsylvania and at the moment we're having almmost springlike weather. At thistime of year we expect it to be in the 30's and 40's max and we're looking at being around 60 on Saturday. (farenheit that is...don't quite know the celsius translation) My neighbor commented on how her daffodils are starting to sprout and my mother said her quince is blooming and they're not due to do their thing until early March! Very odd all over the planet right now it seems. Kinda almost scary! EEK!

Howdy kes!

Yep, the walker's gone...AND...she's now driving again! Just going on short jaunts to the market when she needs to. She impresses me more every day! Tough cookie that Momsquid! She still has a ways to go in her recovery, but, she seems to get stronger every day. I'm working on my own recovery from the whole ordeal! I have so much catching up to do in my own life! I'm sure there are a few of you out there who's lives have been overturned by the illness of a loved one. It was definitely worth it though!
