| Doris (Gordy's Mom) is finally home! The surgery went very well, but she had some issues that required her to end up at Virginia Mason 2 nights after all. She's home now, and she sounds wonderful! As I believe I mentioned in an earlier post, I had never heard Doris sound blue, angry, wry, funny, earnest, but blue? not so much -- but Sunday before the surgery, she did. She confessed her being nervous to me, and her just wanting it behind her. I'm happy to say that it now is!!! Yay! On the downside, last night she mentioned that there is discussion about her going to a "home" and that she plans to stay in her little apartment as long as she can!!!! So it will be a toughie on the Coale side too (and at the same time makes it "so special" -- ugh!). I truly love Doris, and so hoped she might consider the facilities on the Island, maybe have a familiar face (i.e. Gerry and she in the same place) but it won't happen that way. Terry has been her care-giver for all this time, surely he'll want her close by now. But, Doris came through the surgery with flying colors, and no pain even!!! Attawoman Doris!
