More F'S........ What the heck is going on.
My Mother in Law is also 91 and lives far from us and we are going to see her for the June long weekend as she is 8 hours away we can only go then.However she is very active but this week it was her turn to ....wait for it...
FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
poor sweetie was on a day bus trip and got off the bus at Casino,walked 4 paces and fell flat on her face,broken wrist,broken dentures and broken glasses cut inside of mouth and a very bruised chin.MY SIL lives in the same units and so is at hand but at this time I feel guilty that we are so far away,at the same time I have my Mum here as you know.Get well soon Joan and we will be with you next week,poor old pet never hurt a fly and she is the healthier one of the Mums.
A good F now...Fun and games for the soldiers in Egypt their care packages have arrived and they were going to be distributed last night ,we sent 25 over as there are only 25 serving Aussies there.
Now another F...funny.... my daughter read my blog and rang me up..Mum she said you are a funny lot of buggars got a new stove eh? she said she almost p.....herself laughing nice talk for a young lady. We had not told the kids we had put another one in in fear they would think we were mad lol and guess what she did,but she was so glad that Nan is warm,the other little family don't know yet,we thought it could be a surprise lol...
A gorgeous lady in town came to the door on Saturday afternoon bearing a bag full of beautiful coat hangers for the Seniors prizes(I am collecting the prizes but have had to pull out of all the other work that has to be done) and she gave me some just for me and an envelope for soldiers care packages to help out,after she left I opened the envelope before putting it in the safe..it contained $150!!!!!!!!!!
Where do these angels come from and how blessed am I that they come to my door.Now I have money ready for the next lot of boxes for the troops and at the moment I am doing boxes of books for Afghanistan as they need reading matter..people are just wonderful in fact another F word FANTASTIC!!!!!

Catching up with my blog reads tonight. How frightening for your mum and mum-in-law to have falls. Hope they're both on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteOh poor MIL, I hope she's recovered now, what a horrible shock.
ReplyDeletePlease don't feel guilty Carole, it's just geography that prevents you from caring for both Mums.She knows you love her x
Your poor MIL too, it is a worry when they have falls. Hope she is on the mend soon and she will be glad to see you both in about a week.
ReplyDeleteThere are still lovely people around who want to help and that will be a huge help with your packages.
Soft squishy hugs for you MIL.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL adored your gifts and asked me to thank you from the bottom of her heart and also tell you that they are beautiful.

ReplyDeletenow those are the F words I like - all except the F for Fall - your poor MIL - hard to be away from them when things are not going well but at least you will be there soon - just make sure you drive carefully!

ReplyDeleteIt is a fact that the spring goes from our step as we get older , falls put you out of sorts for awhile hope mums are both recovering nicely.
