Home Again
March 17, 2008 by mrschili
Mrs. Chili senior is home again. She was released from the hospital sometime this early afternoon, according to a text I got from my husband while I watched my composition kids sweating it out over their final exams.
I haven’t been able to reach Mr. Chili yet to get the latest scoop; he was at his parents’ house, tidying up and making nice ahead of Mother’s return home, when they arrived from the hospital. He indicated in his text that he was going to make himself a sandwich and have lunch there as it didn’t look like my composition kids were going to finish in time for us to meet. I’m sure he’s got the story, but this is all I’ve got at the moment.
The fact that Mother is home, though, speaks well of her recovery. I imagine there are going to be medications and follow-up visits to doctors and specialists and travel limits and exercise routines and dietary restrictions and partridges in pear trees, none of which is going to make Mother a very happy girl. Still, better an unhappy girl than a dead one, a fact which I’m sure we’ll be pointing out to her several times over the next few months.
Thank you - all of you - for your prayers and support and good wishes. I believe, perhaps more than anything else, that good energy is never wasted, and I’m yet again humbled and filled with gratitude for the wonderful community I’ve built here.
Given all the unfamiliar she may have to assimilate it’s better that she can do so in her own freaking home. Poor old girl. Whew. Glad she’s on the upswing.
glad she’s on the way home. we will continue to send positive energy your way — i’m sure you will all need it as you care for her and help her find her way.
Good news!
Glad things seem to be progressing well. I won’t stop sending good vibes.
Glad she is home and I hope she is doing well.
I would wish her a happy convalescence if only I could spell it
We here at the Eyrie are all glad to hear she’s ok!
I am glad she is returning home; she may be a better sport than you think.
