long day for Trudi


Mom had her surgery on her discs today. Five and a half hours in the operating room.
She did well. I tried to keep her amused by playing with all the medical instruments and supplies while we waited for our turn in surgery. I set off the alarm on the pulse rate machine and blew up rubber gloves into balloons. It passed the time while we waited. I was more nervous than she was.
Mom will be in the hospital a few days and then she'll be in a rehab facilities over the holidays, which is a bummer. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes...
