My mom has come back down to Texas to live with us.  She was up in Tennessee but we couldn’t really take care of her long distance anymore. She was in and out of the hospital with one thing or another. We have gotten her to the doctors she needs down here and she is starting to feel better the last couple of days.  She had a lot of trouble with the skin under her eyes and the eye doctor yesterday said it was an allergic reaction to the glaucoma eye drops that she was taking, so that kindof put her mind at ease that she isn’t going to go blind from it. She goes back in two weeks to have the eyes checked again.  The pulmonary dr. yesterday was very thorough and ordered some tests for her to have and then we go back in a month to talk to him about those results.  She is having an echo cardiogram done this afternoon.  It’s keeping us busy but it’ll sure be worth it to get her feeling better.  We looked at a bunch of old picture last night that my son scanned a while back.  We looked at them on the large monitor that I have now.  She really liked looking at them and told me about a lot of the pictures that I didn’t know about.  Like where they were and who was in them.  That was pretty neat for me too.  Anyway she was finally feeling good enough to enjoy something for a change.  Her car is here too, but i’m not sure if she is ever going to drive again.  I’ll switch the insurance over and all that stuff before too long, no hurry i’m thinking.  We drive it once in a while, but I may end up selling it or something.  I need to switch it over to my name though soon.  More later.
