visit in between softball

I went to visit my brother yesterday in between my daughter's softball games.  It was a bit of a rush, but we were already pretty far west of the city, and I figured then I wouldn't have to visit him on Sunday.  While I was there, the nurse told me how well he is doing.

I spoke to her on the side and told her I was going to be out of commission for a while and that I needed surgery.  She suggested that I bring him home for a visit so that he wouldn't worry about me.  I was a bit irritated, I guess I feel that having cancer (she doesn't know that's what the surgery is for) is important enough where I can concentrate for once on me and not his needs.  However, I know she meant best.

He does seem to be doing well, he hasn't looked this good in quite a while.  Who knew he would adjust to this new living situation so well?  Meanwhile, I just hope they remember to do all the things that I usually have to nag them about.

I was very happy that I didn't have to go out there today on Mothers Day.  Instead, I went garden flower shopping at a nursery, went to the Northwestern Womens softball game, a walk, worked out, and then out for dinner.  Now I have to go to sleep early because I have a 7 am appointment with the anaesthesiologist tomorrow morning.
