Ma rang me this morning. From home. After 4 months in hospital/rehab.

Over the last 3 months she has incrementally worked up--with the support of outstanding respiratory and physical therapists--from being bedridden and on a tracheotomied ventilator to being able to walk down the hallway unassisted. They weaned her off the vent for good 3 weeks ago; all that was left was to build her stamina further and get the trach out.

She's thrilled, I'm overwhelmed. I was the first person she called. I am so happy. When I said how sorry I was that I can't be there for Christmas she said "I know, how about next year?"

Where do I get my shitkicking, don't fuck me universe stuff? No idea...
