haste makes waste

hello to all my 'fans'
what is new at 174 oeming road?
grannie has done it again!! made herself into a dependant invalid.
rushing around as usual - grandpa drove me to get fitted for an orthotic for my left foot - it's supposed to help my back as i have to wait 6 months for my knee replacement & my back is getting the brunt of this ordeal.Anyway, i rush back from the car because my cane & my document folder have been left behind, I rush in at the first door (which happens to be the wrong door)& I trip over the door frame & find myself down on the floor head first. As a result I bleed profusely. A man at the reception desk runs to my aid with paper towels etc. Anyway I see that I need medical attention so we go see my doctor who, on examination sends me to the emergency at the U of A hospital.x-ray,ct scan follow - no major problem- ie - no broken bones. I get a cast for my right wrist & come home!I now have a swollen face (look like a badger)purple face, swollen nose (it may be broken)so now i am dependant on grandpa for many of my needs. I feel very blessed it was not worse.We are hosting the FHE Christmas social at our place Monday. The house is beautifully decorated - it is pot luck & grandpa says we will 'carry on'. He will have to make the clam chowder -under my supervision. Just thought you would like to know we are in control - except a bit of a trial. We do plan on flying to PG to be with the Youngs for a week.Hope all is well at your abodes
love
grannie (the left-handed typist)
