It was! I saw her around lunchtime and got to take her out to see the llamas. She told me later that you got to visit and hang out with her, which really seemed to pick up her spirits.

And you're quite right, she really is looking pretty good:

She's already looking a hell of a lot better than when I saw her last (the day after her surgery). I think she should get some picturesque tattoo to go with the scar (maybe "No User Serviceable Parts Inside".)

Tell her to break a leg... no, wait, scratch that, how about best wishes for a speedy recovery instead. :-)

The day you saw her was absolutely the low point. She has come a long way since then.

It is so good to see that smile on her face. I'm not sure she was capable of smiling on Sunday, and certainly not like that.

Well, it is the first extended vacation she's had without the kids...

/me ducks.

Glad to hear recovery proceeds apace (though undoubtedly at what seems too slow a pace).

Aw, I'm all teary! Wishing a speedy recovery for Ellen and much love to you all.

Ditto this (a little belated).

You're going to get a llama to replace the van? Cool! I bet a llama would be a lot more fuel efficient.

Best wishes to Ellen!

But OMG the emissions!!!

Llama pluses:

* fuzzy
* cheap
* safe
* OMG too cool

Llama minuses:

* slow
* no radio
* can't haul discarded file cabinets home from the dump

... actually, come to think of it, I have to say that those are all pluses as well. It's not looking good for Detroit.

Also, they make great guard animals. They'll take on wolves to protect flock of sheep.

Ayuh.

I'm glad to see that rumors of the existence of a llama were not false.

I'm just glad that nobody referenced that song.

I was just going to say "Cuidado, cuidado, cuidado, hay llamas."

Oh, oh, oh. Having taken those same pictures of my car in January and having me walk away without a scratch...God/dess/s go with you all. Bless all of you. I am so moved.

This was really touching.

Ellen's a little fuzzier since last I saw her.
Who's the hot chick in the chair?


Seriously, wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm so glad the llama's okay.

I hope the rest of you heal up quickly!

Being a Simon's Rocker, I've always had a special affinity for the llama. (Long story. Well, not so long.)

I'm so glad to see she's doing well.

This made me cry. In a good way.
