Just a couple of free minutes while I wait for a coach to call me back. It's the start of what is going to be an extremely hectic weekend.
Having made another three trips to the hospital in the last week, I'm behind schedule on a busy work week. I've got a football game to cover this afternoon (and writing up last night's game), and my older son will be arriving here later in the day (from Detroit, about 520 miles away). On Sunday, we're all going down to visit my mom, who was put in a nursing home on Friday. I've got to find time to write an editorial and maybe a county board story. Am I having fun yet?
My mom is not feeling as much pain as before. They did a procedure (Thursday) on a compressed vertebra in her back, in hopes of relieving pain from a pinched nerve. I have not been able to see her since about two hours after the procedure, but it seems to have helped--maybe a lot. I won't really know until I see her on Sunday. She's now got to eat more and get her strength back.
That's as far as I'll go for now. I'll try to write more on Monday night, after deadline and after my son heads back south.Besides, the phone is about to ring. ((Ring!!!)) "Hi, Bill ... "
