A wait was lifted off my shoulders early this morning. My dear mother who had a serious car accident 6 year ago went through surgery number 8 today on her leg. You must understand my mother was 74 when she had her wreck and was in the hospital for 40 days. Today was just a minor surgery(outpatient). She is a diabetic and she was in and out of surgery and recovery by 9 am and stopped and ate breakfast that most cowboys would kill to eat and she doesn't gain an ounce. I stopped by to see her this afternoon and needless to say she is having some pain but other than that as my dad (who is 82)said, and I quote.... She is still the mean little troll of the lady I married 57 years ago and I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course he took her to have her surgery today and he kept her belongings and he was kidding saying the nurses at the outpatient clinic just loved his purse. You can see a picture of my mom and dad on my page. My mom was in good spirits and ready to go Christmas shopping on Saturday. Nothing can keep her down.Needless to say her words of encouragement to me tonight was tomorrow is weigh in day so go out there and lose weight and win win win ( the money) in the biggest loser club. I have finally got her on board and behind me in this which is good. Just 3 more days of working at school and then a long weekend. Everyone have a great evening.
