My mom is amazing.

If they'd split my sternum open and done heart-valve surgery on me, I expect I'd be a cranky, sore, unhappy mess a week later.

My mother has no pain to speak of, and the hard part is going to be keeping her from doing too much too soon. Everyone who sees her says how amazingly well she looks, and I agree.

Oh, and the Rockies swept the Yankees. Life is good. :)
