Mom came through her hip replacement surgery just fine. It was fast. But since they got started late she was still struggling to awaken when we all had to leave. Todd the pastor from Liberty was there early but had to go to get ready fro Wednesday night services. He called back to check on her three times however. Janet came in as soon as she could get away from work, as did Aunt Sue, Uncle Talmadge and Aunt Eloise. Dad was staying overnight. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

It is about an hour and a half drive to Saint Mary's from home. Along very dark back woods roads. I worried about deer all the way last night, and never saw a single one. But wouldn't you know it? Sixty feet before me driveway there they were. Six or Seven jumped right out. It is the close. I left skid marks right in front of my yard light. All that driving and a near miss right at home.
