Holy hell, mom fell down the stairs, put a hole in the sheetrock with her head, took an ambulance to the hospital. On my way there now…
Dad called me as soon as he was in the waiting room with some time, good job Dad!
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Yikes t! Putting a hole in Sheetrock with your head is generally not the best plan.

At er, they are taking good care of her. X-rays all good except wrist, which is in pieces. Splinted up, more x-rays, probably staying overnight to watch for concussion symptoms. She’s alert and in pretty good spirits so far

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fucking stairs, man! You have to treat them like a jungle predator that wants to kill you.
Everyone hold on to the freakin' bannister! Do not go down stairs with both arms full of packages!
Do not take them for granted. Treat them like a rope bridge in an Indiana Jones movie. Perilous!

Thrive to spite them
Oh no -t!! Although it could have been much worse.
Penny went to the vet today. She has lost weight because her mouth is in horrible shape and she needs extensive dental work to remove the plaque and probably remove the rest of her teeth. So that will be happening.
I am going to get some dental wipes so we can start taking care of Duchess and Scrappy's teeth.
And Mom really loves the Independent Living Place
BUT she found a house for rent in Brevard that is everything she has wanted. So guess what she is doing ? Renting the house. She did say she would rent it for one year and then move to the Independent living place.
