I missed all the bad weather yesterday when my connecting flight was changed from Phillie to Charlotte, NC and arrived home the exact time I was originally supposed to. I left the hospital at noon for the airport and my dad was moved to rehab facility about five minutes drive from their condo, so it'll be easy for my mom to get there every day. I was told that he stood for the first time in the morning.

Last night and today I've been unpacking, catching up on email, regular mail, and catching up with friends. Had lunch in an Irish pub near Penn Station with Paul and Pam then came home and a friend put together my new DVD player (which has a beautiful picture).

My sister's home from Montana and we talked about our parents today. My mom's very worried about my dad and I've got to call her tomorrow morning to reassure her that the things my dad is going through (not eating, sleeping a lot, etc) are normal for the major surgery he had just about a week ago.

Thanks so much for everyone's kind support over the past week. I appreciate it. I love you all.

Btw, I haven't been able to get my embedding html to work --(so you see all the coding) --has something changed in dreamwidth and lj?

Got back last night from 11 days in Florida, visiting my parents (dad's home and has a visiting nurse coming in four times a week plus will start having physical therapy to hopefully help with his balance and strengthen his legs.

Photos from ICFA will be posted but in the meantime I've posted a few family shots and landscapes and clouds (yup I love those Florida clouds).

More bad news from publishing. My wonderful editor at M Press, Rob Simpson, has been laid off. I have no idea what this means for Lovecraft Unbound, which is in production and due for pub in October.

Running out to do errands. More later.
