I do not even know where to start.

My mother shattered her wrist and cracked her tibia Thursday before last. She had to have surgery the day after, and my cousins and my aunt got here yesterday for their planned visit. My mom's godchildren and their mother are coming tomorrow. Mom is in the rehab center till Tuesday.

My present circumstances and emotional state can probably be extrapolated from there.

Lots of good luck to your mother and good thoughts to you both. Remember to take care of yourself, too.

Thank you! I am working hard at it. Our guests leave at the end of the week and then I will be going home regularly.

(Of course, we're also in the midst of a record breaking heatwave here in the U.S. Midwest, so it's probably just as well that I have made my lair (fold out bed, end table, chest of clothes, a couch and a squashy chair) in a nice cool basement for the duration. My wee little apartment is remarkably cool for a place with no air conditioning, but well. It is on the second floor instead of dug down into the earth.)
