Another day out of class

At this moment, my mother is in the hospital cath lab, having another stent put in one of her heart's arteries. I'm in the hospital waiting room, fairly amazed that free wi-fi is available here. Back to mom--she's had 5 bypasses and now I think she's up to 5 stents--possibly more, almost certainly not less. In case you haven't realized the fact of it, my mom is proof that getting older sucks.
