9/14/08

It has been a wild summer. Several trips in and out of the hospital with my mom. The last one was very scary; we came extremely close to losing her. Several blood transfusions and they resurrected her.

She is currently back in the nursing home, the better of the two we have had experience with. Makes you think about whether modern medicine has done us a favor or not. People are much sicker and more compromised at the end of their lives. Not much dignity left.


I continue on medical leave; one more week to recuperate before back to the old grindstone. I am way too feisty to lay around. Kind of making me crazy, but the pain keeps me in check.
