O MY F-N God even more grumpage...

to hear of the mother in laws tragic fall...

oh man that had to hurt... is she ok now?

i was down in florida last July attending my father in laws wedding
(he's 89) and we had just returned from the whole affair and my mother in law and i were walking towards the end of the driveway.

She had her dog run around her legs with the leash and make her trip (the weird thing was, that i had just told my father in law how dangerous those extend a leashes are the day before...my clairvoyant voice pre warning me again)

and when she went to regain her footing she stepped into a hole and fell into the rain ditch just missing the 3 foot square mailbox foundation by less than an inch. at first i wasn't sure if she had hit it.

I reached out to grab her and missed because i was one second off.....and i swear if she had hit the brick mailbox thing it would have killed her.

That would a been the shortest marriage in history... so it was a very tense situation afterwards considering how close we came to the ultimate tragedy. so in a way i can identify with what you are saying ...even though my (our) situation was much less traumatic.

My mother in law is a very tough woman and just sprained her neck
a little bit and i was quite nervous getting her up because she looked like she was all twisted up....laying there.

I think we need to say a prayer for you both, not ask for a change of luck. Some pretty serious stuff have fallen your ways. Of course, Raven I do think you have Outnumbered beat in this category, but I am sorry to hear about your mom-in-laws fall Outnumbered.

my father in LAW... our last remaining parent...went to step down and their new chihuahua
stepped in the way so he tried to avoid stepping
....backwards and he fell into the doorway and broke 3 ribs
and the man will be 89 on the 19th of this month

but listen to this unbelievable story

he goes to see a doctor for some meds for his broken ribs
and the Doctor says ok manny what meds to do you presently take?

and he proudly replied... NONE....

and the Doctor asked again... no really you must be on some kind of medication...
NO he said i don't any medication and i never have because i've never needed to.

the Doctor then copped an attitude and said ok we are all done then

and basically wouldn't treat him at all for lying to him....

the truth is: he's a health food guy and is very healthy
and always has been !!!!!

Star is doing a little better each day

she is such a trooper... and hanging tough

when it rains ,it pours ,they say

My disability has gone from a healed ankle break
in 96 to much worse after arthritis set in to my toe
joints and ankle too..... i can no longer take pain meds
as they were slowly killing me... so, i dropped -em completely!

Arthritis... it's kinda like how dripping limestone erodes away rock....

my Doctor might be replacing everything with artificial parts
during winter of 08... but we are just in the discussion phase
at this point....

I met a group of guys fishin for white chins yesterday
down in New Bedford and i asked them if they've ever been to S-B.com
and they were real interested. One guy said he caught a 7 pounder the other day.
