The Last Hoorah

Mom is anxiously counting down the hours until she is free from 358 East. Most of her things have been taken home (minor miracle considering how much stuff had accumulated) and we took down all her pictures and cards today and put them in her binder of good wishes. She is saying good-bye to her nurses that seem like they should be part of the family by now, having her last meals (thankfully), and taking her last spins around the atrium.
The high point of the morning occurred when she once again tried her beloved chocolate. Many of the stalkers may not know that this chocoholic lost all taste for her oft craved treat...but not to worry, she will be ingesting at least 1 lb. of See's bridge mix when she arrives home. We really are getting our Nana back!

Oh I know all about the chocolate turn-around and am writting this as I'm smelling the baking brownies that I'm going to bring over tonight. Brownies a la shasha! Can't wait to see her in her natural habitat- lounging on her own bed, sitting on her own throne at her little toilet desk, and being eaten by the black monster. Hip-hip-hooray!

Looks like we ALL loose the poll for moms parole date. I guess the only real winner is Michael!
