Monday morning about 1:00 AM my Mom let me know that she needed help. She had a lot of pain in her upper abdomen area. After some discussion, we went to Piedmont Hospital to get her checked out.

She had an X-ray, CT scan and blood work. Her sodium was very low and her gall bladder was extremely inflamed.

I left the hospital about 6:00 AM, absolutely exhausted. I came home and slept for a few hours then went back to the hospital.

She had her gall bladder removed (robotically!) and is doing great. Dr. Fussell did a great job!

She got into room 209 around 5:00 PM.

She will be released from the hospital tomorrow. Here’s what a gall bladder looks like.

I’ve been keeping up with my brother Jim and all his family as well as all my family and our friend Roopa.

OYB!

I came in #2 in the Duolingo Leagues last week.

Laundry.

Mexico is getting a lot of rain.

I emailed our tax guy for Jessi. He sent us the return later this afternoon.

Updated our license plate stickers. It’s nearly my birthday! That’s what the month is for.

I installed a safety bar to help my Mom get into the house. Drilled the holes and then screwed the bar in. It feels super secure.

New week. Keep going.
