Sending good vibes your way, Heidi! :)
((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Urg, I don't even know what to say. I have a marked tendency toward gallows humor, but I don't know you well enough to fling it out here. So I guess just know that I'm sitting here thinking up wildly inappropriate comments meant with the absolutely bestest intentions and all the positive vibes I can muster.

My mother would love you. As soon as she was making jokes about the situation, we knew she was feeling a little better. So there we were-- my siblings, Tom, and I-- at my mother's side. Making fun of her prior behavior and the debacle that had been forcing her into the hospital. Joking about the cutting off of underthings for catheder insertion, which lead to joking about perforated underwear for the kinky elderly, which lead to a discussion of the questionable sanitary conditions for ingesting edible underwear. She may not have much left, but if her mobility and her strength had to go, at least that sense of humor is still sticking around.

I'm glad to hear your mom's sounding like she's feeling better. That's good news. My thoughts are with you. Prayer all around. :)

Heidi, I'm late coming into this thread but I'm so glad to hear that your mom is feeling better. I hope she continues to have a speedy recovery. In the meantime she and YOU are in our thoughts and prayers!! HUGS

My thoughts are with you during this trying time.

(You know, no matter what I come up with, it still sounds all Hallmark, so please forgive me. Just go ahead and take the positive vibes that are clumsily concealed within my somewhat mechanical auto-response.)

And tell her if she goes playing in the briar patch again, you'll kick her ass.
