Minor setback but cute pics

Returning home from a birthday dinner for Ainate on Wednesday evening (carrying a chocolate cake, of course!), my mom took a tumble and fractured her elbow and a pelvic bone. She was brought to the ER at Alta Bates and is now ensconced in a room on the 6th floor with a view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. 

We had a visit from the orthopedist today and she'll have surgery on her elbow on Sunday. Fortunately the fracture in the pelvic bone is small enough it will heal on its own. Assuming all goes smoothly with the surgery, she'll stay in the hospital for another day or two and then be discharged. 

All things considered, the patient is in very good spirits and has been eager to get up and out of the hospital bed when she can. She'll be in quite a bit of pain for the next little while but so far all signs have been positive. Obviously being in the hospital the week of Thanksgiving was not in the original plan, but we are making due and are happy to be in the care of Dr. Cecchi and his, ahem, charm, the orthopedist Dr. Zwahlen, and the rest of the staff at Alta Bates. 

And now... some Úna pics since that always makes everyone feel better and smile.
