You're not the only exhausted one... we had nine folks for dinner. And food for twenty. Everyone was well-fed and well-liquored, except the pregnant gal, and we played a nice game of Balderdash and had conversation. Majorly impressive getting eight grad students to not-work and not discuss school for five hours.
Has been a very decent Easter, even if I miss my folks. I am reminded of 1st Corinthians 15 where it says something like - "If He has not risen, then we are of all people to be most pitied; but He had risen." We do not hope in vain.
Mornin'. Thunderstormin' here. Restless night at Castle Stormhands last night.
I went to bed around 11:00. Just before midnight I heard a "thump" and then Nana screaming from her bathroom. We found her crumpled up in the bathtub. As far as we can tell she's "okay" but she got a gash on her nose and a HUGH bump on the back of her head. It was a pretty scary sight. The cut wasn't deep, but it was a bleeder. So the first thing we saw was Nana with her head in the tub, her feet over the edge and her nightgown covered with blood.
Best we can figure is that she thought it was a good idea to wash up ~after~ she took her sleeping pill. Needless to say wife was pretty stressed out for a good while. Nana woke us up about an hour later because of the pay. We don't ~think~ there as serious injury since she was able to talk and she never lost consciousness. We were able to get her up and back to her room.
But there are all kinds of considerations here. None of which I brought up with the wife last night. We are fast approaching the point where it's not safe to leave Nana alone at any time - like when we're at work, at church, etc. She has to back into the chair lift at the top of the stairs. If this had happened there...well, you get the idea.
Surgery for the hip is tomorrow. I think during recovery we need to look seriesly at what our options are. We can't afford to have someone be here all the time when we're not. Anyway, too much speculation for a Monday morning and I'm late for work...
See y'all in a few.
