(She is 83 years old) &nbsp;The cousin said to contact her for contact information. I did so. Several hours later, I had nothing. &nbsp;So I called my uncle&#8230; he did not know the room phone number but told me the hospital, room number, and her cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I called the cell and left a message. Mom turns her phone off during charging &#8212; and it turns out she doesn&#8217;t have a clue how to check voicemail, and is sure she doesn&#8217;t even have it.<\/p>\n<p>Late night my son posted to me the number to her room, and as it was too late to call, I called yesterday morning and talked to her. She said they would know more in the evening. I called back on her cell phone (yes it was working). So far everything&#8217;s fine, and she will be in there just a few days while they try to dissolve the blood clot with drugs rather than break it loose and have it lodge somewhere more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>My honey has been home on and off. I just spent two straight nights sleeping alone (assuming I got much sleep, which I didn&#8217;t) while she spent the night somewhere else. She is looking for a place to live and has friends to stay with. Don&#8217;t worry, she&#8217;s not sleeping with someone else, or I don&#8217;t know her. It&#8217;s hard to sleep alone after 8 months together, but with her moving out I&#8217;ll have to get used to it sometime.<\/p>\n<p>No word on the job yet.&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"sad\" src=\"http:\/\/s.xanga.com\/images\/sad.gif\" alt=\"sad\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Got a ritual to go to tonight at some friends&#8217; place I&#8217;ve never been to.
