Potpourri

Or, maybe randomness. Or smorgashbord. Possibly boredom?

Anyway, here I sit at the hospital with my mom. Been here since 5:30 this morning for her Reverse Shoulder Replacement surgery. It went very well, seemingly routine to the doctors, but this afternoon she's been in extreme pain. She had a nerve block that was not working very well, but is now under control. Thanks to all you who prayed for her. Please continue to pray for a fast and easy recovery.

I miss going to church tonight, but it's for a good cause. A reason and not an excuse. O, I don't mean to sound preachy or anything.

I'm looking forward to Christmas with the family since it's rare that we're ALL
together. As you began to gag, I must say how much I love them all and that they bring me so much joy.

I miss my husband tonight. I feel a little homesick. I REALLY want to go home, but mom kinda wanted me to stay, and there's no reason I can't. She would be lonely all by herself, and I feel that I must cherish this time with her. She will be 86 next month! But the selfishness in me wants to go home.

As I close this random, smorgashbord, potpourri post, I must say how much I thank the Lord for His goodness, care and love for me and my family. I thank Him for watching over mom today, and the health and opportunity I have to be here today.

Have a wonderful day, dear reader!
