Nephrectomy
Word from Virginia is that over the weekend my Mom had a successful nephrectomy. She has one less kidney than she had when she was born. Apparently it went well, and she’s recovering in the hospital.
I hope to get back there sometime this month.
Update: I just got an IM from my sister that my Mom is home now, tired and in pain, but doing well. This is a big load off my mind. It’s hard to be away when big stuff is happening.

Sorry to hear this had to be done, but glad she got through the procedure and is back home and doing well.

Phyllis is such an inspiration to all who know her. You’re fortunate to have such a wonderful mother.

I am a friend of Phyllis—one of many of her friends. She has inspired so many of us to be better persons.
