Fastest Vegas Trip EVER!

This will be the fastest (shortest) Vegas trip I've ever made, and I hope I never have to make one like it again.

I will be headed to Vegas in the morning to get my mom and bring her home when she is released from the hospital.  On the last day of her trip with her sister last week (Monday night), she tripped and fell outside the elevators at Harrah's. (For the record, this was completely an accident - Harrah's was not at fault at all, and she is completely ready to go back and stay at Harrah's again on a future trip.)

 After a trip to the emergency room with Las Vegas' finest EMT's, she was admitted and found to have a broken right hip and a broken right arm.  She had surgery to put pins in her hip last Wednesday, and she has been in the hospital for 9 days.  She has recovered enough to finally come home.  Luckily my aunt was able to extend her stay by a couple of days to make sure everything was okay, and also VERY lucky that we have wonderful relatives in Las Vegas who have been looking out for her welfare, keeping the doctors in line, and advocating to get mom released to her family as soon as possible.

My job is to go out and escort her back, so I will be headed out first thing in the morning and we will be home before dark.  I am SO looking forward to seeing her and getting her back home again!  

Our October trip plans have changed, and I will be headed to Vegas for my birthday alone, but I will be adding her on to my January solo trip to make up for the missed trip next month.  I want her to be completely comfortable on her next trip - and I will be watching her like a hawk!

You can't say my mom is not a true gambler: she has stated that "Hell, yes!" we will be gambling in McCarran Airport tomorrow afternoon while we wait to take our trip home!

Here's to a safe and worry-free trip!  Cheers and Viva Las Vegas!
