We love having Grandma live so close to us, it is a joy to have her as part of our everyday lives.

This last couple of weeks she has given us a couple of scares though.....

First on Super Bowl Sunday she made biscuits in her new stove and promptly sat down to enjoy a hot one with no drink. She began to choke on it, so she move to the bathroom to try to get it out. From what we can figure she passed out and hit her head on the bathtub. We are very thankful the fall dislodged the biscuit and she ended up with a good knot on her head.

Last Saturday she called and said she had fallen again, but this time out on a walk with her walker. A nice man had helped her up and she said she was fine. Well Sunday morning she was extremely swollen and black up to her wrist, so off to the doctor on Monday to find a broken wrist!! She is now sporting a lovely new neon pink cast with her walker!!!!

So today with my two helpers we tried to make her apartment more walker friendly and put her on the wait list for a handicap apartment. We are trying to let her be independent as long as possible, and hopefully this afternoons 3 hours of clean up will help with that.

She is actually very spry at 2 weeks short of her 91st birthday!!!
