First off, many thanks to ron and Laurie for sending in good wishes for my Grandma. I am happy to report that the hospital discharged her because whatever was going on, it didn't show up on any tests, and she is fine. Not bad for an 89 year old. Hmm, since toddlers sometimes announce their age by holding up the corresponding number of fingers and saying, "I am THIS many years old!", would seniors just keep flashing their fingers up and down? I guess when you get up there, you are more likely to have arthritis, so you couldn't easily flash your hands 9 times. Okay, that was a weird tangent. ;)
Mom's side of the family tends to be relatively long lived. My great grandmother lasted until she was 98. My family can have a rather macabre sense of humor. I have occasionally joked to Mom that the only way we will get rid of Grandma is if we hit her over the head with a shovel.
So, Mom and I had a brief chat. I am glad that things have settled down. When she didn't call yesterday, I figured that the crisis was over, as it had sounded like things were going fairly well.
