I think this is the longest I've gone without posting (which may or may not be a good thing).
Anyway, Candyce us not back home, and once we got the meds adjusted properly, she's resting more or less (often less) comfortably. She's moving around the house on her oan,a nd doing some exercises to build up a little strength and keep everything loose. Now's the hard part...sitting around waiting for everything to heal.
Fortunately, Large Giant Corp. is letting me "work from home", and now that I have a) the VPN properly set up, and b) some time, I might actually get some work done.
Thanks, everybody, for the good wishes; I'm sure that the positive energy had (and continues to have) some positive effect.
Oh, and by the way, my sister's test came out...well, not very well. it appears that the seizures to not have a single locus, but several, making surgery more difficult. The Dr.s think that they can corect it with medication, and they're working on gettingthe dosages set up correctly (apparently, anti-seizure meds are somewhat more difficult to control than, say, your average aspirin). So we'll see how that comes out...
