outnumbered - sorry
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.
