(Don't-worry disclaimer idea stolen from trouble): Sick grandma is recovering well.

I've been feeling way under the weather recently, and was planning on spending the day resting. But around lunchtime mum smsed me to say grandma had broken her hip and did I want to visit her?

So I did. And OW am I sore. It was quite a walk from the car to the ward and back, and then I had to stay semi-awake to talk to my semi-awake grandma (who was gratifyingly with it for someone who'd just come out of surgery, especially given that she hasn't been totally with it for a few years) though at times we both dozed while mum chatted cheerfully to the nurses (my mum is like me minus the stuff I inherited from my serious-minded taciturn dad)

Afterwards mum said "Where do you want to eat? I'm starving." and I said "I'm not hungry and chances are won't be able to find anything I can eat around here, so choose whatever you want" and she said "But where do you want to eat" and this continued from Freo to Perth until I said "Let me show you this place called Taka's" (by which point I was actually hungry).

So after all that walking and about 3 hours solid talking with my mother I am allll out of spoons. All of today's, most of tomorrow's. Still, I don't regret going and I'm glad grandma is ok. I hope she heals up alright.
