I have a new found respect for my mom, she's tough as nails!!! I won't go into details, but suffice to say if I were the one sick I'd be in that room belly-aching the whole time and whimpering like a girl. Not my mom - no way. If my mom were a rock star, she'd be Mick Jagger. That guy never seems to miss a beat, doesn't complain, and just keeps on rockin' - just like my mom.

There's another reason for the title of this photo - my mother LOVES to have her nails manicured. I think she told me she goes once a week, and it shows - Cher's got nothing on my mom. I thought a fight was going to break out when the nurse informed my mom that she HAD to remove the polish from one of her nails to attach a little pulse monitoring doo-hickey on her finger! I'm happy they had her sedated, I shudder to think what may have come of all that had she been at full strength!

They're still poking her with needles and running tests, but she has her beauty parlor appointment on Thursday - I'm betting my mom will be sitting under the dryer come Thursday afternoon...

Get well, mom! We have a project to work on!
