I got back from visiting A late last night. I set a new best time for the drive back from her town, but it was still a brutal drive. She's doing well from her surgery, but it was a quiet weekend since she needed to take it easy. Hopefully, next time will be more fun and her health will be more stable. It's going to be tough to figure out when our next visit is going to happen, given my work demands and her lack of leave time. We'll figure it out!
