Sister Linda

Turns out this is the day surgery that wasn't. They decided to keep Linda overnight because they were having a hard time controlling her bleeding afterward in the recovery room. Lynda took Mom for a visit late yesterday afternoon along with some toiletries and a couple of books and games. Linda was firmly under the influence of the morphine and was drifting in and out during their visit. (Ah, memories.....that nice floaty feeling....)

I was talking to Lynda a little earlier and there is no sign Linda will be released anytime soon - she had a sleepless night full of pain. Lynda is picking Mom up and heading out with more supplies, a smiling face and some encouragement. Lynda told Mom that she would drop her at the hospital door as it's so windy here today that Mom could be blown away if she tried walking from the parking lot. If Mom shrinks any smaller, by jeez..... we'll be able to tuck her on a shelf.

Linda is looking at a long recovery period at home..... poor Linda; poor Mom.
