In other news, Marta came and cleaned this morning and started work on ourfilth and crap pit basement. She'll be back on Friday again, then only come on Fridays for the next couple of weeks. I don't think we really need her any more - I'm able to do (almost) everything by myself again, and the only lingering side effect of the surgery seems to be a slight loss of energy. No point using up my mom's money for something that's just a luxury at this point instead of a necessity.
My mom is still not visitable, but she's apparently starting to feel a little better. She's been mostly at the hospital for the last week or so, hooked up to all sorts of machines and getting all sorts of help to stop her nausea and pain. I'm hoping we (or at least I) can visit her sometime soon.
Later Edit: Is it wrong for me to start giggling while reading a property case? It's a case about a mine (Moneta) that ceased operations and covered its holes. Then they sold their property to another company (Cartier). Cartier signed a bunch of documents exonerating Moneta from any liability in case the hole caved in, and kept the part of the land that used to be a mine vacant. Then Cartier sold the to an oil company, Petrofina, but didn't tell them about the mines or write up liability papers.
Petrofina allowed a bus company to park its buses on its property. "In November 1963, at a time when five buses were parked on the land, a subsidence ocurred to an average depth of 30 ft, with the result that three of the buses disappeared completely and two came to rest at the side and near the bottom of the hole."
I dunno, that just brings a very funny image to mind. Picture parking your bus, going in for a coffee before fueling up and starting your next circuit, and then... ::rumble::, coffee slops over cups, you and your bus driver buddies and the gas jockeys are staring at each other thinking WTF, this isn't earthquake country, you go rushing out and...
Dude, where's my bus?!
