I have not been around because my mother had several procedures in the past 11 days.

She is out of the hospital but still needs healing time. She has vascular issues and she tends to create scar tissue at an alarming rate.

She had a stent placed in her heart, leg, and her carotid artery during her stay. She also now has a bad back from having to lay in the same position for long stretches of time.

She will get through this but it will take time and my family is devoting our energy to getting her better.

Not that any time is really good...
I hope she gets better right quick and back in shape for the new year!
