It sounds like you were blessed and fortunate to have her as a mother. My condolences.

My wife and I had a really weird and distressing day yesterday, spent mostly in the hospital.
Her 74 year old father was knocked down by a car in the morning, and there was the suggestion that he'd possibly had a medical episode that caused him to fall into the road in the first place, like maybe a blood clot or a heart attack. We raced over to the scene of the accident and he was still there in the road being attended to by paramedics when we arrived, which was obviously pretty distressing for my wife to see. The ambulance whisked him off to hospital soon afterwards, and after a worrying few hours of waiting for news, the doctors were able to tell us that the ECG and Ultrasound tests didn't show any evidence of a medical episode, which is obviously good news.
So, it's likely that he did just stumble or perhaps wasn't looking where he was going. We'll no doubt find out more about exactly what happened when we visit him today. He's suffered a broken nose, wrist, leg and rib, which obviously isn't great, but you kinda have to be thankful for small mercies that it wasn't anything more serious like a stroke, I suppose.
But it was a such a worrying day yesterday. My wife and I still feel pretty emotionally frazzled this morning, to be honest.

What a scary thing to happen and it could have been worse. . I will pray for his recovery.

Let me know if there's anything I can do or if you just wanna talk about stuff.

All the best to your father-in-law. I'm really, really glad it's "just" broken bones and not a stroke. As you say, it's a small blessing but we'll take whatever we can get.

My mom passed away this morning. She was 91 and the most beautiful woman I ever knew.
Sorry to hear of your loss, George. All condolences.

Belated condolences, George. May her memory be a blessing.
And good wishes to Paul and family for a full recovery for everyone.
Both of these recent tragedies hit uncomfortably close to home. My mother is 91 and frail, and my wife is 75 and has never been completely steady on her feet.

Zounds! After almost three years and four shots of assorted vaccines, I finally caught covid-19! I thought my wife and I would be spared, but no.
And so I get to stay home for five days and can draw a lot, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I'll record this week's classes and put them online.
Symptoms-wise, it's like an adult cold. No pain or aches, just slight coughing and a very runny nose. Since my avatar doesn't have a nose, it's adding insult to injury!

Take good care of yourself, RR!
I got my third booster today. That's the fifth shot overall. My wife and I are among the few who haven't had covid (that we know of).

We made it longer than most others, too, but this thing is getting around. I hope your symptoms stay mild and you recover quickly. If your wife also has/gets it, I wish the same for her. Take good care of yourself, RR! I got my third booster today. That's the fifth shot overall. My wife and I are among the few who haven't had covid (that we know of). Should we start a pool on the remaining holdouts?
