New Haircut and a trip to see Leah at work

Yesterday my mom got her haircut.  Well, some of it.  They did a pretty good job trying to even it up a little bit.  Hopefully it'll grow out just fine and then they will not have any problems.  Yay!  

Gigi brought us dinner last night and it was YUMMY chicken pot pie.  Night before Shelly and Amy delivered some yummy jello and spaghetti made by Momma's friends from Cantrall Intermediate School.  They decided to come by my work and see me so Grammy could see where I work, for now.  I showed them around and I think it did some good for my co-workers to see her and know what she really had done.  They knew she was having major surgery but not many knew how invasive it was.  She's a little shocking to see at first but it's all good.  

I'm pretty sure that she will stay home all day today.  She's been out quite a bit the last two days and is realizing just how incapacitated she really is.  Grammy is going home today and Aunt Janell comes in at least until next Wednesday which is when they will head to Milwaukee for a follow up with the doctors there.  Note to Kim, Willie, Micci and Demi - you may have a couple of visitors.  Then we're off to my grandparents for their Fall Festival and moving the food trailer.  I have no idea how we're going to do that but someone will be in charge.  Drexel and I are heading down after school on Friday.  

Thanks for your cards, letters, plants and flowers...they really brighten her day.  Not that she's gloomy.  She's just not...however she's a little anxious.  She wants to make sure that no one is afraid of her either.  She doesn't hurt.  I mean there is pain but she's not in pain.  She really feels like it's good for people to see her.  So, come on over.  Sit a spell. 

I promise...pictures soon.  It's hard to work and take care of everything.

I am impressed w/your recent activity of getting out and about. Yes, I am sure it is taxing! Lois, your body has to recoup from all the trama, so listen to it.
Leah, no doubt you are busy w/work and son and all, but hang in there. What would your Mom do (and all of us) w/out you!! Thanks for the great post and report. I will try to get in touch w/you soon.
Love and prayers. Charlotte :)

Sissy,
Sounds like things are going great with your recovery!!! We can't wait to see you in Marshall in a week. Make sure you get some rest this week so you can be at the fall festival.
Leah, thanks to you for updating your mother's progress. It is wonderful to know how she's doing. See you in a week.
Love to all,
Lolita and Michael

Lois hope everthing goes ok at the doctor. I'm still thinking of you every day even if I don't write. I could'nt believe how good you looked when I saw you on thursday. I told everyone at the double to come see you so you don't go stir crazy. Today was Patty's special day (birthday) but we are not allowed to say that word. So we went to the double to celebrate. I've never known anyone to hate a birthday like her. I hope you have a good weekend, but don't over do it!

Hugs and kisses
Gina.
