Often European doctors are better in the newer techniques. When my sisters kids were diagnosed w/ CF after they had just moved overseas she was amazed to discover that Sweden (her particular country) has made the most advances in treating CF - and, hey - free medical care! Remind your mom that her alternative to the bedpans in the catheter and the bag of urine trailing around after her. The good news? Often European doctors are better in the newer techniques.

I missed about three entries and am just catching up. I agree, parents should never move far away. I hope she is up and about soon, or at least able to have gin. Oh, your poor mom!

I hear one adjusts. Eh. Those are very good news, considering. And, your mum still has her sense of humour, always a brilliant thing to have around when life turns rogue. I hope your Thanksgiving was as fab as possible. We don't have it, of course, but mashed (sweet) potatoes sounds really good. If I knew how to cook I could even find out but alas, I'll live vicariously through you. I empathise about the bedpan, when I was in hospital I was terrified it might come to that.

I'm sorry you won't get to see your mother until after the babies are born. That's when you'll really need her though. Get well soon Mrs. Flotsam. Mashed potatoes AND rolls.

None of us doubt your thankfulness for makers of round-the-clock nausea and instigators of intolerance of all things heretofore inoffensive. Do tell us that the eating is getting easier...
