Katkeeper update
Mom is on a cocktail of blood pressure meds and is just waiting around for the people at her hospital to get together with the people at Penn. I am at her place helping out since she can't drive or lift more than 10 pounds, plus it is calming to have me around for some reason.
We will just wait all week for the call it seems |

I'm sure you're a comfort to your Mum UT. You're a good guy. How could you not be?
I'll be thinking of you both while you wait. xx

There are bits that are just kind of alarming, such as notarizing the power of attorney that I now get in case something goes wrong.
This is the sort of condition where there's a 4% chance of death in surgery but 10% each year you don't get it taken care of. It's all so very shocking to us. But this is what life is, really, and before the CT scan and modern medicine it wouldn't even have been detected until the end. |

I hope all goes well for your Mom, UT. And remember, it could be worse. You could be stuck with dial-up!
