Well, I have had a busy Christmas.

Sharon called me not long after I had come home and gone to bed, telling me that she had fallen, and was bleeding.

I drove over, picked up her and my daughter, took Sharon to the hospital and brought my daughter to my house to wait for word.

Finally, about 2:30, she called and we went and picked her back up at the hospital and took her and my daughter to their home.

Sharon told me she'd bruised her ribs in the fall, and was given an anti-inflammatory and morphine for the pain, but she hadn't damaged the area where she had had surgery.

With that crisis over, I have to see if I have the courage to face my extended family femmed up ....
