the big day (well, now it's night)

i talked to mom tonight. she sounded good. she went home from surgery around lunchtime, took a nap and kept herself sedated with drugs.

she told me again not to visit, but i'll be sure to come up for the weekend for my grandma's 90th bday -- plus, tante betty is visiting from germany.

other than that, we'll take things day by day.
