Homesick

My Mom Turns 80

Bumming tonight in my Michigan motel room.  It's a nice enough room.  The people are fantastic.  Just missing home.

My mom turned 80 today, and my brother (who is actually quite the cook) made a cake for her.  Looks like she was enjoying blowing out the candles!  Hopefully my other brother, and my sister and her husband were able to stop by.  She is a third year survivor of colon cancer and is a lot more frail than she was.  Wishing I was there too.  I left her a birthday present before I left, but its not like being there

Off to work tomorrow, have been laying low over the weekend with a brief jaunt to a local city that was like a mini-Bavaria.  Interesting and touristy. Felt sorry for everyone in drindle skirts and leiderhosen.  Pain has been bad off and on, but am off the dilaudid and taking some oxycontin so it can "time release" and hopefully not make me hive as bad.  Long week ahead, will be even longer when I am feeling homesick.

  2. Hey, I tried to email you last week but I'm not sure if you got it. Could you email me when you get a chance? It's regarding your stimulator. Thanks!

  4. Happy Birthday to your Mom. Thinking of you and wishing you could be there with her. But she knows you're there in spirit.

  5. Thanks Sue! This is the first birthday I have missed of hers for years. She had a good time with my brothers and sister and with cards from nieces nephews and grandchildren - even got some pictures of great grandchildren.
