Good thoughts appreciated

My mother's having knee surgery this morning. Nothing huge, and it's outpatient. She's having a torn meniscus repaired, and my brother's with her. I have training with my school district all day, so I can't be there, and it's going to drive me nuts all day. :P

Anyhoo, all good thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE! It's about noon, and Mom's comfortably home and doing fine. I just had her pain meds precription filled (they said I could skip training and go another date), and she's going to be in happy lala land for the rest of the day. Yay! :)

Sing it, sister!
