Visitors. MRI results. Mom.

You probably didn't notice, but I haven't blogged for a few days. And the reason was because I was feeling like I didn't have anything to say. That's not entirely true, because we got a visit from someone who used to just be an e-friend on my homeschooling list, a few days ago. Now that we've met her and her family in person, she's a friend without the 'e' prefix. *smile* They are really, REALLY cool. We talked for hours while her two kids and our two kids ran back and forth swimming for a while, then jumping on the trampoline for a while. Then when they came in the house they played in the kids' bedroom, and also played video games. They all wore each other out! *smile* Fortunately, they forgot some of their stuff here, so now we have a good reason to show-up on their doorstep. LOL. Can't wait to see them again!

Other than that visit, we haven't been up to much. Just the day-to-day things like going to the store and back. Nothing all that exciting in the grand scheme of things.

Oh yeah, we did get the results of last weeks MRI in the mail. Didn't understand much of the technical shit, but we did understand the conclusion. And it was... I have MS. Can you believe it? What a shock! (not). Still need to make an appointment to see the neurologist to discuss what all the medical jargon meant. If you remember, we were supposed to go in last week but had to cancel the appointment due to the heat. Then they were supposed to call me this week to let me know when the new appointment was, but never did. Well, I decided to call yesterday and set that up, only to be told that the "appointment lady" was on vacation and would be back on Monday, and I'll be called back then. *Sigh* So, I suppose I'll probably have to call them back.

I do have some other news, now that I think about it. I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday on the 25th of July. She told me that she had fallen the day before, but was just sore. If you remember, she had hip surgery about a month ago. She had been home about a week before she fell. Well, she had to go back to the hospital so they could make sure nothing was damaged. Then she'll be in the nursing home for a couple of weeks to a month, depending on how quickly she heals. My sister told me that in her opinion mom wasn't ready to go home. Apparently when the nursing home sent mom home, she couldn't walk on one of her legs, and was told to just 'hop' on the good leg while hanging onto the walker. What were they THINKING? You don't tell a 65 year old woman who you know doesn't have good balance to start with, that's just had hip surgery, that she's going to have to hop while using a walker! *sigh*
