Good morning all. Weird to be on the east coast brigade. Well esconced in Jamaica. Visited Mum first thing last night on the way home from the airport. She's a fierce woman, never doubt that.
Nurses were nice and let us stay past visiting hours' end. So we hung out for about half an hour. It was great to see her. She seems better than I expected, and worse. But most importantly, better. She's on pain meds, and a bit loopy, but not that bad. Conversation was clear. Two other people came by while we were there, and about three called. It's good to know people are rallying.
I wish I could hug her properly, but with my portacath and her in bed it's more than awkward. Still, she deserves it.
Turns out Google voice works here. So as long as I'm on wifi, I can call and text with my LA number. I also suspect that T-Mobile over wifi works too, so my normal number is also in operation. Technology confuses me.
