Good news.

I spoke with Dez earlier this morning, and her mom is out of surgery and doing well. Surgery was simpler and shorter than they thought and her mom had the hip repaired rather than replaced.

Keep your fingers crossed in hopes things continue to go well.

More later as it is available.

ANYBODY GOT AN UMBRELLA?

Under the heading of "It never rains, but it pours..."

This is Lisa, stunt blogging from Maui. Dez has not been deliberately neglecting the blog, but again the complications and problems of life have significantly interfered with her ability to get much done besides "put out fires." Unfortunately, the pouring rain does not have seem to have done anything to offset said fires.

Dez has asked that I notify y'all that her mother is hospitalized with a broken hip and injured knee, and will be having surgery presumably tomorrow. Dez's Uncle Armand died this week, and while leaving the cemetery Saturday after the funeral, her mom caught her foot on a step and fell, breaking her hip and injuring her knee. Her hip surgery will be sometime tomorrow, and her knee will be dealt with later. Her hip is broken, not shattered and should be reasonably easy to repair as hip surgeries go. After surgery, she will at some point spend several weeks in an in-patient rehab facility. I will post more as I know more.

Dez also asked me to let Knitting Asylum customers know that the shop will be open as scheduled unless you hear otherwise.

In addition, I'd like to add that Dez's husband, Dave has had several good reports from his doctor in his own recovery from cancer surgery. That's one rainstorm that may be clearing up.

More to follow as it becomes available.
