Drama Burger, may I take your order?

I'm back home from Roanoke. (Salem, if you're being picky.)

As I mentioned in the locked post, Mom's in the hospital after suffering a stroke. She's lost motor function in her right limbs, but still has full sensation, vision, and her normal faculties.

Sunday night Starr and I discussed the situation, and I decided to head up Monday morning. Mom was surprised and very touched to see me, and I got to see her moving her limbs ever so slightly - perhaps a centimeter or two - which, only days after a stroke, is a major accomplishment. I'm hoping for her sake that this is the beginning of a swift recovery. She'll be starting physical therapy next week.

On top of that, Starr's PT Cruiser is in the shop, and we just got Midori-kitty back from surgery. If exhaustion counts as exercise, then I'm completely caught up.

Much thanks to everyone who offered assistance and good wishes. It means quite a lot.

My thoughts are with you. My mom called me the other night because my dad is considering back surgery.... health issues make people freak out, justly so. :(

Hopefully the email I sent you the other day will help you take your mind off of things.

I much appreciate the thoughts, and I completely agree with you about the health thing.

And yes, thank you very much for the email :)

for what it's worth, exhaustion does count as exercise. Y'all are in our thoughts.
