When Trashcans Attack

[the_gneech]

From the "Gneech's Parents Throwing Themselves at the Floor" Department comes this news bulletin: in a surprise move, my mom (rather than my dad, the usual suspect) took a spill this morning, landing with her arm in a trashcan apparently. My dad, being unable to help much himself, called lythandra and I at 5:45 a.m. to come over and help.

Fortunately, it was mostly a false alarm, as by the time we got there she was up and mobile again, although we did bandage her shoulder where the trashcan scraped it. So things seem to be okay, but the way things have been going re: relatives lately, I'm edgy.

Plus, y'know, tired. -.-

Anyway, off to work...

If it's any comfort, Gneech, I spent the Mother's Day Weekend evaluating the physical and emotional health of my 65+ mother. I am pleased to report she's holding up pretty well, but if something happens to her, you know I am going to be making an emergency 250 mile drive at light speed. I did suggest at one point that she think about a LifeCalltm setup, which would at least ease the minds of her two adult children, but she demurred. Oh well. At least yours are within reasonable checking distance.

(*snorts*) OK, note to self: LJ does not support the superscript HTML tag. Feh.
