Late last month, I got a rather urgent call from my SQO. He was over at his Aunt’s place, and was going to be there a little while longer than planned, because they had to wait for the EMS.
His mother was visiting as well, and, upon exiting her car, she misplaced a foot. The difference in elevation between the driveway and the lawn snagged an unwary victim, and she ended up falling out of her car.
Diagnosis: she broke a hip.
Now, if we ‘age’ this wonderful lady by her attitude, I’d put her in the late teens. She’s a fiery person in a chronologically-correct 80 year old shell. So, with bones having spent that amount of time defying gravity’s pull, her doctors decided to replace the joint, rather than immobilize and let it heal naturally.
I had an opportunity to visit with her in the hospital…and made her a little something to brighten her room.
The flowers are sprouting ALL over my little corner of the Earth. Winter is back in the coat closet 😀
Beautiful work surely brightening up that drab hospital room. And good luck to her also.

She’s feisty, so she’ll come out of this OK. When I visited with her, her biggest complaint was that her ass hurts – because that’s where they went in to replace the joint.
She also insisted that the hospital staff move the clock in her room, so she could see it better.
She’s one of those rare gems of a person.

Those flowers would brighten any room. Sorry to hear about the MIL’s broken hip. Hope the replacement mends well.

I’ll let her know the readership of my personal blog-o-sphere is wishing her well.
Then, I’ll have to explain the entire concept of blogging to her, but it’ll give us a new topic to talk about 😀
