My sister in law, not the crazy one, and her husband was moving today so we went down to help out. Her name is judy. The crazy one's name is Rooby. Anyway we got up early, hooked up the trailer to the truck and headed that way. When we got there Judy was laid out in the front yard. There is a front porch with no railing and she was holding the door open so folks could carry stuff in and out and she took one step too many backwards and fell of the porch. Broke her hip. The is the second broken hip for sister in laws recently. Rooby had one awhile back.
When they got judy to the hospital her husband was shaking all over and talking gibberish and nonsense. Mz ribit and I had followed them to the hosp and she told em her brother was a diabetic. They checked his blood sugar and it was 566. That is wayyyyyy to high. They put him on a couple of bottles of some kinda iv and gave him some insulin and he got alright or as alright as he ever gets. Judy having surgery to repair her hip in the morning.
Found out later on that judy fell yesterday as well and that she has developed a habit of falling frequently. Judy is also the recipient of a kidney transplant and the medication she has to take reads like a shopping list.
There comes a time when the kids should all get together, draw straws and whoever gets the short straw should have to shoot the old folks. I have already made this suggestion to my kids. Life isn't much fun when all ya do is hurt. If it wasn't for kicking the three amigos on that other board in their collective balls I wouldn't have any fun at all.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
