Grandma

My only living grandparent fell and slightly(?) cracked her hip the other day. Today I learned that she will have to stay in a nursing home for at least two months to recuperate.

I've noticed that quite often after an elderly person falls it leads to their death -- either immediately from the severity of the fall or a relatively short time later from complications related to the fall.

I'm not so sure that this will be the case with Grandma though. She's 95 and cranky (I'm told). She'll be 96 at the end of next month. She's a tough, old bird, as they say. And I mean that with love and respect.

Happy Leap Day (tomorrow), Grandma!
