harden

My mother has been released from hospital yesterday after her second surgery. I called her yesterday in the evening and she was feeling quite well.

This should be good news, I guess, but the last time she only spent two days at home, before she had to return to hospital because of extreme pain, which let to her second surgery last week.

So, before I bring out the champagne, I count the days until she returns to hospital.

On the no smoking issue: spending 3 months in hospital wasn't enough to quit, I think.
