So as most of you probably know, my mom recently went in for surgery to fix the herniated discs (and a collapsed disc, as well) in her back (FINALLY, in both of our opinions) and I'm supposed to update all of you on her condition.
She went in last Wednesday (9/5) and came home Sunday. The surgery was a success and she says that already she is doing better than she was before the surgery. Her sciatica is better and she can almost comfortably ride in the car. Her incisions are tender and whatnot, and she is walking with the help of a walker (next is a cane!) but she's making progress and that's all that matters.
<-- This is from the first day. Obviously, she looks loopy and in a tone of pain (she even called Tony Romo a "fart-head") but she looked and sounded pretty awesome for someone just out of major surgery.
These are from Saturday, when Cathleen took Brenna and I to visit her. She looks so much better than Wednesday and she was a lot more comfortable. She even has her quick sarcasm back enough to make fun of me.

First day home, saying hi to special boy (Milo).
And finally, thank you to everyone who sent flowers! She was so happy to see how much everyone cared. We even got two free meals! :)

Collette,
You're doing so good after your surgery! The truth is, I didn't even know about it until somebody on Facebook mentioned it. Since then my prayers have been going up. You look good for it being not long from having the surgery. You're doing great too. Keep it up!
