Day 21 - Crunch time

Mom laughing last summer while cooking pork tenderloin sandwiches.

Today, her left arm is broken in two places, above her wrist. She fell off a ladder taking down Christmas decorations. My sister, Suzanne, took her to the ER this afternoon. She sees an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow for a followup. She says she's OK and will heal to cook pork tenderloin sandwiches with that arm another day. But it's a fair guess she'll be in some pain tomorrow as the stiffness sets in. Hang in there, Mom!

Vlad is doing well today. He administered his own saline infusion today and even flushed his own lines with heparin. He's becoming quite the nurse. He goes back early tomorrow. We're headed for bed.
