Good morning Lodge. Working from (my parents') home today. Mom is doing great. She's up and about. Only pain she is feeling is from where they went in laproscopically. And it's not really pain, it's more discomfort. Getting up out of bed and from a chair is when it hurts the most. Took her and my dad out yesterday to go find a pair of sneakers for my dad. She finally said "I need to go home to lie down." So at least she does know her limits. I felt a little bad, like I made her over do it, but she got up after two hours and felt fine. She's back to eating normally. I just need to get her to not overdo it. At the very least, ask me to grab things for her so she doesn't have to stoop or something.
Tomorrow I have to take my dad to see his PCP. He's in Boston. The appointment is at 11:30. Which means we'll have to leave here by 10:15, not get back here till probably after 2pm, which is why I'm taking the day off. I'll be unable to sit and work. I am going home tomorrow night, taking my nieces with me as they leave for California early in the AM on Wednesday. It's my older brother's birthday today. We're going to go over there tonight for cake. He's so....I don't know what. I texted him Happy Birthday and then also mentioned mom is doing good. And that both her doctor's office and the hospital called this morning to check in on her. He texts back "Good customer service." No "thanks!" or anything. Pain.
I feel like a bad person because I didn't get him a card or anything yet. I will, it's just been an eventful week.
