Welcome home!
Glad to hear that your visit with your Mom was a good one and that she is doing OK. I know from my experience of moving my G-ma into a rehab center that it can be an extremely stressful time. I hope you are able to spend some wonderful time with her in the future.
Your comment about billable hours brought back memories of my ex-boss saying "Gee Greg, doesn't look like you have very many billable hours on your time sheet this pay period..." grrrrr.
Get yourself some rest before diving in at PBA.
I hope you're doing well,

> My mom is doing okay. They were moving her to a rehab hospital today. Her lungs cleared up pretty quick, but then she had some heart complications. But that seemed to be under control today. However, she has no endurance whatsoever, so the need for a few days of rehab. She still had pretty good muscular strength (my mom has participated in an outpatient cardio-pulminonary fitness program for five years to maintain her fitness even though she has COPD). Hopefully, she will be able to go home by the beginning of next week.

> The visit was great with my mom. My sister and mom's husband made the first day incredibly stressful. But I accomplished exactly what I wanted -- spending quality time with my mother. It is scary to think that each time I see my mom may be the last time. I plan to get out there as soon as I can -- maybe November.

> In all manners, I am exhausted. I really won't get to catch up until this weekend. I have to get into work first thing -- try to get in some good billable hours these last three days -- even though I have every conceivable appointment that I could possibly have!

> PBA looks pretty interesting. If Sal has been homo bashing on PB, my dander will be up in an instance (not to mention the religious stuff). I thought of you all often -- next trip, the laptop travels with me. I don't know why I didn't take it with me this time.
