Abby + Progress


Flirting through Bossier City since 2005.

Progress! The shunt is working. Today, Mom recalls: where she is; where all her grandkids are; that Courtney attends Louisiana Tech, where: "The sign always said "Louisiana Polytechnic". Mom did not remember this info on Friday. It's obvious that excess cerebro-spinal fluid is draining out of her ventricles.

Mom started Physical Therapy today, which included a walk of about 50'. This means, if Mom received an accurate outlet pass, she could dribble from midcourt to the basket, then shoot a lay-up: if all opposition players suffered simultaneous catatonic episodes, and if Mom's teammates picked up her errant dribbles, and returned the ball to her. I doubt she would double-dribble, because:
  1. She'd need to keep one hand on her walker, and
  2. For gosh sakes - she knows the rules.
