That machine sure does look awful. I think recovering from those surgeries is just a nightmare. My best friend has had several hip surgeries, so I know some of the really bizarre thing you have to do afterwards (my friend was in casts on her legs that kept them apart at a 90 degree angel! ). Anyway, I really hope that your mom starts feeling better soon and the pain at least wears off a little. I can imagine she is really uncomfortable and having a hard time sleeping, that sounds so awful.
You're a very good daughter for taking such good care.. but you need to get your rest too, lady! You need to take good care of yourself too! *shakes her finger at you* tsk tsk!
I hope both you AND your mom are feeling better soon and everybody gets some sleep!!
Let us know how everyone is doing, I am thinkin' about you!
