To all...

Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, love and caring...I wish I could do individual replies, but you've overwhelmed me, as always!

Mom had her surgery this afternoon (Sunday), and all went very well, I'm thrilled to say! They didn't even use a general anasthetic, so she was feeling good as soon as she got out (Versed is a wonderful thing)! She's getting morphine through an epidural at the moment, so she's in no pain and not all doped up, so things are good there.

The thing that worries me is how her Parkinson's will affect her recovery...it is what caused her fall, and it makes it very difficult for her to walk and maintain her balance. I guess we'll just have to take it a day at a time!

Thank you all again for your caring and concern...you're just wonderful!

Love,
DJ
