Drama breaks out again in the de facto extended family, or maybe a country song. Dad's sweetheart Margaret (still also 90) fell Tuesday night. Though she hit her head, the fall itself didn't hurt her much; it was mainly trying to get up again by herself that did it. (This was Tuesday at midnight; she didn't want to bother or wake anyone at that hour.) Meanwhile, her daughter Bunny also fell, tripping while pumping gas and wound up going to the emergency room for stitches to the face.
Margaret was in a lot of pain and had trouble moving, but went in for her appointment for the nuclear test to check her heart function and see if she could still have the hip replacement. Though it was a trial, it was also a success: she will be having the hip replacement, on schedule, next Tuesday(!) I'm hoping somebody takes a head x-ray while she's there. We don't need any more subdural hematomas to the head in the extended (de facto) family.
