she's baaaaack!

yes, beta is at this moment sitting in her kitchen. the people around her with a glass of wine (omcis, steve, me, liga) and beta with champagne gingerale.

when i arrived for dinner much had changed since lunch...much to my surprise. apparently beta was free now to go, and once beta had found out that there was to be a new 82 yr old roommate in critical condition that would be having her vitals checked all night beta was ready and wanted to get checked out!

silvija arrived with some more dinner, but once it was decided between the 3 of them that beta would go home, silvija returned home to let steve come and pick her up. steve got to st mike's around 8pm. beta and i had been sitting with bags packed since 6pm!!! i bundled beta in her first clothes since the accident- the fab wife beater, big baggy cardigan sweater and baggy pants. and she was ready to roll. except for the socks. both omcis and steve forgot the homecoming socks. oh well. the car was warm enough.

the drive home was a little tense for me, as we did not put a seatbelt on beta, as it would have been perhaps jostling on her arms. i think we all may have been over aware of the fragility.
but steve drove carefully and slowly avoided bumps.

now here we are. liga showed up with a bit of wine. steve is getting beta's meds.
kabits tried to stay awake but crashed before mama got home.

beta signed her own release papers. yes she did.

oh- and we stole a bed pan for just in case and got some waterproof tape to boot.
