madrobinsYesterday my mother-in-law fell and broke her hip. Apparently it took her for ever to crawl from where she'd fallen to a phone to call for help (this in a retirement community where you'd think they'd have Link-for-Life fobs for all...or maybe she just didn't wear hers). In any case, she has surgery this morning, and will be in rehab in the same part of the community where my father-in-law has been living for the last year.
Good wishes, good thoughts, good jokes to pass along, all welcome and solicited. This is going to be hard on her and hard on her husband, Emil--they'll be near, but not able to see each other. My sister-in-law is flying out, my brother-in-law will cover things the week after, and I'm going to urge the Spouse to go visit too. It's just...damn.
