Three of them.
I picked up my Hera Candle and my Quarter Candles, incense and a bowl and headed for my room. Chris looked up and said "Whatcha doin?"
I looked back at him and drawled, "Spells."
Mudd crossed his legs and covered his groin.
Mom had to go in for brain surgery last week. A CAT scan found a hematoma on the left side of her brain.
The night before surgery she texted me "I hope they don't use the hand drill."
I texted her back, "Make sure it's at least Black and Decker or Craftsman."
She returned, "I hope the Dr. has our sense of humor."
My sister sent me a picture of Mom after surgery. Her bandage had been slipping, so the nurse on duty (male) had gone gauze-happy and wrapped her whole head, almost to the Claude Rains point. Brenda added "I'm pretty sure there's duct tape in there somewhere."

What's going on here at Chez Mudd
Oct. 22nd, 2013 08:14 pmMy mother has leukemia. The chemo is really not taking hold this time.
And last Thursday when she went in for treatment she was complaining of a terrible headache. So they CAT scanned her and she had bleeding in the brain.
Friday, they did brain surgery.
She called a couple times over the weekend, needing me to reorient her to reality at weird hours (weird work schedule)
And today they discharged her.
She's staying with a friend who is a retired nurse.
I'm driving to Kansas City Saturday and will be up there until Nov 11. I'll be at ConTraeption and I'll be back in Memphis for the wedding I'm preaching on the 12th. Brenda and I have some hard conversations ahead of us. She's been really good about not calling me to come up and handle it, but now, she needs me to, and I'm there to do it.
