What a relief!

My mom was discharged this morning. She's still pretty sick but the crisis is over and now she just needs to recuperate and rest. Thanks so much to everyone who prayed and left comments. Your prayers, support and caring words mean so much to me.

I am frantically trying to catch up at work after being off yesterday but plan to return to my normal blogging routine in the next 24 hours or so!

Now I'm just going to say this in order to get it off my chest....I wish that young doctors would realize that scolding and lecturing people who are more than twice their age, for decisions and addictions that have been going on for over 50 years, only serves to cause those elderly patients to avoid seeking medical treatment when they really need it. {{{sigh}}}
