Don't You Just Love Willy Nelson...

On the road again.. can't wait to get on the road again.

Not really. I don't like traveling as much as I have the last month. I'm back in Ft. Worth again. My s.i.l. had back surgery a week ago yesterday and on Thursday my baby brother e-mailed me and asked if I could come down and help for a few days.

GiGi (my s.i.l.) was to get out of the hospital on Friday and he was scheduled to work Saturday and Sunday. So I packed a bag on Friday and drove down.

To make a long story very short... it's Tuesday and we are hoping she will be able to come home today. Physical therapy had orders to ambulate her only. That means simply get her up and help her to walk.

Well, they had not read the orders properly and had her doing lumbar exercises. She told the p.t. person that it hurt to do the exercises and, of course, they said to just try a little. Being the good patient she tried... and now is paying the price.

So I've beeen spending a lot of time at the hospital, away from the computer. My baby Bro is off today, but he had a meeting at the hospital at noon-time, so after the meeting he is going to bring her home, if her doc okays it.

I got to stay at the house and, after a much longer time away than I'm comfortable with, I am back on the computer. I miss posting and I miss checking up on everybody. I feel that my social life has so been compromised.

So I'll be going visiting today to see what I've missed. Hopefully, you all have been having way more fun than me.
