It's been a few weeks

A crazy few weeks.  All sorts of things going on, from work, to getting together with friends, to a rush trip to Sioux Falls to go to the doctor with mom.  Her pacemaker has needed a "tune up" to try to get her heart going stronger, so she had surgery to fix it on Wednesday.  She was supposed to go home this afternoon, but started having deep muscle spasms in her lower back, so onto a bit of morphine to control those.  And that delayed her release.  Dad went back home, and will drive back and forth until she is released--hopefully soon.  I had already sent her flowers (thanks to a snafu in the gift shop, she got double the flowers), but wanted to get her a pick me up.  So I sent her a MONKEY!  No, that is not a typo--I sent her a little stuffed monkey.  Now she can see monkeys in the hospital too.  Wonder if Dr. A can go tell her it isn't a heart transplant monkey?

Anyway, here is a little something for mom.  Thank you for making sure we always knew this.
