Default Update: Derrick's Surgery, Mom's Scare

First my mom has had a really swollen leg. The one that is broken ankle or
foot. I was really concerned, but no one else seemed to think it was that bad. But the nurse that came on Friday said something. And then on Saturday my mother decided it might be a problem. But the nurse on call wasn't given the call. And they called the doctor, and he would have seen her on Sunday morning but my mother really wanted to go to church. So she waited till this morning.

The doctor did a special test, Sorry I can't remember what my sister called it.
Because he thought it was a blood clot, but all the veins but one, which he
believes is just in a area of the leg that is so swollen that they can't see it.
So they put her back in a gel cast. For at least a week, and then it will
be her decision to stay in this or go to the other boot which is kind of very
heavy and wasn't staying together good.

So that is her news.

Derrick has his VNS replaced Wednesday Morning. So we are waiting patiently
for that. But I can say I was getting very scared when I could not reach
my mom on the phone. About her being in the hospital and me needing
to be two places.

Today is my birthday, I had a great day.
