not the most pleasant day

90% sitting around in hospital waiting rooms, 10% making computer backups. Hope you had a better one.

I'm so sorry! Who is in the hospital?

My mother. She fell in a wet parking lot Friday night. She had been shopping with my sister. My sister was wearing her "shop 'til you drop" T-shirt. She shopped, she dropped. Broken hip, slipped into coma due to bleeding on the brain. Brain surgery yesterday in Redwood City after transpo from Kaiser Santa Teresa. Came through surgery okay but is not out of the woods. They won't address the broken hip until it's clear she will survive the aftermath of the surgery and brain issue. They had to take her off her blood thinner for the surgery. She's had blood clots near her heart for several years, so there is a big risk that she could have a heart attack and die.
