Grandmas
Last night my mom calls me and says that grandma fell and hurt herself and needs me to come over to help her, so I went over to her house. Well, friday, she was leaving to go out of town with my Uncle Jim for her sisters funeral and she tripped over one of the dogs tie outs and fell into the post that holds up the porch. She thought she was fine so she went ahead and went out of town. Got home last night and couldn't move her arm so she needed my help to get undressed and ready for bed. Well, this morning she couldn't even take a bath without help so I went over to help her and finally talked her into going to the hospital. Jim calls and says he'll take her so after he got there I washed her dishes and then came home. Well, she called a few minutes ago and they found out that she shattered her knee cap, fractured her collar bone and her ring finger on her right hand. Poor grandma, so now me and mom are gonna have to take turns going over and helping her bathe and get dressed and make meals and stuff. Kills me though cause I know she hates it, she's always been so independant and able to do everything on her own, and I know she hates for people to have to help her with mundane things like getting dressed. =( They say she'll need surgery on her knee but hopefully she heals completly and quickly so that it's just a minor hit to her ego.

Oh, I hope she feels better soon! I can't believe she got banged up that bad and still went out of town, she must be pretty tough!
She's really tough. I'm so proud of her, she kept saying tonight "I'm 83 years old, I've made it this far, this isn't gonna keep me down either".
