Update

My grandmother made it through the surgeries. My hat is off to the great docs at Winchester Memorial who saved her life by finding some previously over-looked problems. Tuesday, she was as white as the Blogger post field- last night her color had returned and she was lucid, if exhausted. With luck, she'll be home by next week. I'm home now.

This morning I noticed my left driver-side tire was bald on the edge to the point of showing mesh. The other three are like-new. I just drove 700 interstate miles with a tire that could blow any second- I think my tires were seriously pushed out of alignment when I hit that deer- the wear is extreme. It was pulling hard to left too...and it's leaking oil. Great.

Hopefully I'll have something less utilitarian and more entertaining to write soon- right now I'm putting together a database for the radio station because I miss my spreadsheets so much...it should keep me busy for a little while and help keep my as-yet unwanted job skills sharp!

Thanks for all the well wishes and emails and stuff. I hope everyone is well and I hope I'll be back around shortly.
