She had cards and flowers and a few visitors - she's so tired. Her heart acted up and the therapist was surprised. He curtailed the p.t. he had planned for her and has to call the doctor. <BR/><BR/>There's something just not right with Mom besides the detectable.

I hope you get good rest before the next unrest comes upon you. With moms and dads at the age we're at can mean a lot of ups and downs. As for your mom, the love that surrounds her shows a lot of what her character is. I wish you all good health.Sandy https://www.blogger.com/profile/16963245250258653146noreply@blogger.com
