Hi, Patti,
 PJ> I spoke to Mike's Mom Sunday, and she said that she has
 PJ> not had pain meds since the surgery, and was up in the therapy pool
 PJ> the day following her surgery.  She said she feels wonderful, and in
 PJ> fact was getting ready to go to church when I spoke to her. Gotta'
 PJ> run for now kiddo', gotta' head out for work.  Just wished springtime
 PJ> would hurry up, I'm tired of winter  
I'm glad to hear Mike's Mom is doing so well.  My Mom was doing much
better when I was up to visit two weeks ago.  The swelling in her legs
has gone down a lot since Christmas and she was recovered from the bug
that had had her gasping for breath.  Unfortunately, she managed to do a
number on her arm the day before the Super Bowl.  She was putting away
some pans and they didn't want to go into the cupboard.  She gave a shove
and caught her arm on the door latch--got quite a deep cut and also
skinned her arm quite badly.  It was still bleeding two days later when
the home health nurse came for a routine visit.  The doctor prescribed
some potent antibiotic salve and the nurses have been changing the
dressing every day.  It looks like it's coming along quite well, but I
suspect Mom will have a sore arm for quite a while--it looks like it went
into the muscle.
I wish springtime would hurry up, too.  My car decided last week it would
rather be a pile of junk than a functional vehicle--the day before I was
scheduled to go to Detroit for a visit.  One of the local dealers is
giving a $3000 trade-in allowance on their used cars through Monday, and
I want to get in there tomorrow.  Unfortunately, the weather forecast is
for yet another winter storm.  Oh, well, nothing much I can do about the
weather but wish.
Take care,
Robin
