124.8 on my brother's scale this morning.

Today was the longest appointment day in history (at least it felt like it!). The first appointment was my Mom's annual physical, then we had to go get labs, then to another clinic about 25 minutes away to see wound care where they decided she needs her whole toe amputated then back to the first clinic for a pre op appointment where we sat in the exam room for an hour because the fricking staff didn't let the doc know there was an add on! We were gone from 9:30 this morning until 6:00 this evening! I was supposed to drive the 3 hours back home but am just too spent. I'll leave first thing in the morning but will return on Monday to help her prepare for surgery on Tuesday and then will most likely stay with her until Friday as she isn't supposed to bear weight and needs lots of reminders. I hope our kids take such good care of us when we are old and feeble!

Liz, safe travels to Aruba! Can't wait to see all your pics!

DD, the finish line is so near. Enjoy the coffee shop and the new pressure washer!

Peps! Congratulations on your new adventure! Retirement is grand!

CC, interesting to hear the ins and outs of jury selection. The judge sounds sweet!

Diane! Yay for walking even when you didn't want to. And a bigger yay for slug making!

OMG - a toe amputation? Does she have diabetes? That does sound like a tough and frustrating day. Lucky your Mom has you to help her.

She does have diabetes. The toe is the same one that they did a partial amputation on in January when we were in Hawaii. It is not healing so they need to take the whole toe!
