Mrs America

Mom was the very last knee surgery of the day finally getting to her room around 5:30pm. Surgery went great, they were not able to give her a spinal so just blocked a nerve in the front of the knee, used a lot of local for the back of the knee and sedated her. She came back to the room feeling well, no nausea, no pain, and well rested.
As she is all snug in her bed the nurses waiting on her hand and foot, a bunch of her daughters hovering around asking if she needed anything she asks, "why are they treating me like royalty?" then happened to look over at her board.
Notice her preferred name:
Her first response was, "alright, who wrote that?" We could honestly say none of us wrote it. Although Rachel never would admit to who told the nurse what mom's preferred name was.
Karin, Rachel and I left for home while Ruth and Diane are staying the evening. Karin is driving back to spend the night at the hospital. Diane and Rachel are covering tomorrow, Beth has Wednesday and from there we will see.
Ella was moved inside tonight, the wind is strong and the temps are suppose to drop into the low 20s. Olympia is now at her new home. Dee reported she walked right into the trailer.
