Thank you for the prayers everyone.
The staff at the hospital must have thrown a party after MIL has left the building! They had never had a patient like her. Her constant need for assurance and attention if I could video that, would draw hundreds of thumbs down on Youtube!
Incredibly, she did fantastic at home, walked with a walker on her own and I'm shocked!!
So this may be a very short recovery period as the doctor said and in MIL's case, I'd say the prayers did it.
Came home late last night and Kel wasn't too happy having to sleep on her sofa. After FIL died, she got rid of the hospital bed and the guest room bed set! Big man will be grouchy today.

Cindy, prayers continue for your cousin. I do hope the insurance covers everything or if FEMA stepped in, may she get full help.

You too Pegi! I'm sure you have threatened to take away the remote from Darwin!
Wine is good therapy, Sue and I can attest to that!

Sue, he's good looking! Not your ordinary everyday guy and brains too? May this relationship be the one and all for both of you.

Good to know that your battle with the JB's almost over. Don't understand why all of a sudden you have that infestation, Sis Kathy. Poor you. Guess it's more shopping to replace that much you had lost.

Marion, at least Kim cares not to overkill you on coffee! Lol!! Caffeine is bad for your heart and nerves you know!

I have a blind cat Possum, that have been with us for 4 years now. Yes, the one that wants to hide lately.
He's not been wanting to eat, no sign of illness and I've been feeding liquid foods through a syringe. I think that "feline influenza" that caused him to lose his eyes returned. Vet had told us that no kitties can survive that, and there are many that Kel had rescued and they grew to adults. I guess, it's never been eradicated from his system, but remained dormant, until the flare up.

We may lose him. A couple of days ago, I made a little sanctuary outside, a small space bordered by a wagon, file cabinet and an ac housing. Want him to feel the grass and the sun which he hasn't since Kel brought him home.
It's joy tainted with sadness to see him burrowing his nose in the weeds and grass. I then put him up on the file cabinet as the sun rays were hitting it.
He loved it! Stretched his neck to feel the warmth.

Couldn't repeat that yesterday before leaving for the hospital. He got much more weak. If I had known this, I'd stayed behind and feed him every few hours.
But God knows what's best for him. Yes, I'm prepared.
It's a chore to take care of a blind cat, but handsome Possum is another God's gift to me.
Here he is...

Waving to my sistahs, got to go... thanks LK for your help on RWB!
