Sometimes the hardest thing to write is the "Title" of a blog...

Mom got out of the hospital late Saturday.  She had been in there for a couple of days; taken there because of severe shortness of breath.  She had also been experiencing edema and extreme tiredness.  Mom recently had a pain medication implant put in, so the thought was maybe the shortness of breath was a side effect from that.  But they found fluid in her lung and needed to drain it.  They also found multiple nodules within the left lung.  Of course, the hope is the nodules don't do anything... just stay where they are.  She will also now be using oxygen 24/7.  I know she doesn't want to have to deal with that but it will help her.  Right now, she needs to recover from all of this.  And she will.  She would get right back out there even she had an anvil tied to her ankle... she'd drag it to work and throw it over her shoulder at meetings.  That, ladies and gentlemen, is m'mom.
