Such a look of disappointment on ltc's face.
I felt so bad yesterday playing with my friend's 6-year-old, because my friend was exhausted and short on patience, thus making Auntie Mel so much more fun than Mommy. Poor Mommy gets such a bad rap. {{sj}}
Continued ~ma for Mom, please. Surgery tomorrow - a vein bypass to try to get improved blood flow down to her foot. The toes will be wait-and-see. Only 2 small incisions for the bypass, which is a huge relief in terms of healing, but it's still a bigger deal surgery than just the toes would have been. I was worried that there would be a wound from harvesting the vein to graft, but none of her others are good enough candidates, so they're using cadaveric tissue. Which I think is pretty awesome, but I think I won't bring up dead people parts around my mom.
eta: Also some show-your-face-you-dumb-cat-ma, if you please. I haven't seen the cat in a couple of days. Which isn't completely unheard of, since she doesn't like me and I've barely been home. But I am starting to be concerned that she's not just hiding, she got out and hasn't found her way back in.
