Thanks to everyone for their well wishes.  Mom made it through the procedure fine and we were home from the hospital by one p.m. (after getting there at Oh-Godawful a.m.).  She experienced quite a bit of discomfort yesterday and this morning, but we had good drugs to mitigate the worst of it.  She’s feeling better this afternoon, resuming her game of solitaire on the Kindle.  🙂

The Kindle doesn’t seem to respond to her touch as readily as it does to mine.  I checked to make sure she’s not using the fingernail or missing the icon.  I have no idea what could be going on.

But that’s a preferable problem to having Mom feel like ****.
