Update

I think it's only fair to give you the basics.
So, about two weeks ago, VonMom got sick.
VonMom NEVER gets sick.
So, she got pretty bad and after a week she went to the doctor.
VONMOM NEVER EVER GOES TO THE DOCTOR.
I'd venture a guess she hasn't been to a doctor since she had me, so, you know a while ago.

Of course, many many tests were done.
VonMom prepared for the worst.
Um, yeah.
She's healthier than I am pretty much. No nothing. No cancer, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol issues. Nothing. Minorly elevated blood sugar (of no concern), minorly "off" thyroid (of no concern).
The upside is she's about 2 weeks smoke free.
And she's learned that not all doctors just hand out death sentences.
VonMom is the queen of conspiracy theories.

Now we continue to check in on her, as she's still getting over the initial bronchitis nasty thing she's been fighting.
And we get back to what we call "our new normal".
Which is us, without VonDad.
Back to the diner tomorrow morning, then off to put gas in her car and buy dog food.  All before guitar class.

Looks like I'll have more time to get on her nerves.

So, thanks friends, for all of your kind words.

It's good that your mom is well, Von.

My mom also never went to the doctor. One day, she died of a stroke while visiting an arts supply store between here and D.C. "Very high blood pressure, which was undiagnosed for years."

Quitting smoking is tough. My mom AND my wife both did it.

Good news, Von. Now that the weight of the world is off your shoulders, spend some quality time with the VonPad. Here's a hint: Netflix has Doctor Who on streaming.

That's huge!

Very happy to hear that VonMom's doing good. And happy for you, too, Von.

My mom is healthy as a horse- now that she's retired, she walks five miles a day. I think she'll give her grandfather (six weeks shy of 100 when he went) a run for his money.

What about those of us who made inappropriate jokes?

Gotta stay in practice.
