Well, I'm glad I mudcatted tonight. Give your mom my best, and tell her that Gracie sends her regards too. Tell her it has been my long held belief that it ought to be illegal to feed hospital food to sick people.
Unfortunately, all my specialties are not good for the blood pressure, or I'd send you some gingerbread. (I think the Amish butter I use is healthier, but not that much healthier.)

Having seen my mother through 3 hip replacements, (One of them didn't work.) a mastectomy, the removal of a malignancy on her lungs, the subsequent chemo and her last illness, I can tell you TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Get your brothers in to help. Sleep, eat, hang out with friends, draw. (Amy is a first class artist.) Pat your cats.
