The World Through Slash Colored Glasses

I forgot to explain what happened yesterday to Grams.

It all really worked out to happen at the best possible time (God knows what he's doing) --->  I always believe that what's meant to happen to you, will happen, one way or the other.  So she was meant to have this accident, no matter what.  So since it had to happen, it happened on the best possible time.

My oldest sister, W, has a flexible schedule since she does a part time and works on her own as CPA.  She had taken yesterday to do stuff, but she was at my Grams during the morning.  She told Grams she'd be 'on the road' yesterday.

My bro-in-law, who I (and my whole family) have been berating silently for being unemployed and living for free with Grams and my sis (his wife), R, was home that day.  Grams told him about W.

So at 12pm, Grams decided to lie down on the bed while watching tv.  When she goes to get up, her cane slipped and she with it.  That room is next to, but separate from the room my bro in law is, so he's alerted to her fall & cries by the neighbors, who're closer (it's all due to room positions and all that sound wave stuff).

That's when he calls my sis W, who calls Dad.  They all get there to my bro-in-law and neighbor helping Grams up slowly.  911 was called but the ambulance got then 1.5 HOURS LATER.  Apparently there was tons of blood.  But thankfully, Grams never lost consciousness.

So, she's at the hospital now. Surgery to fix her arm and replace the knee is set for Thursday, since the equipment needed gets there tomorrow afternoon.

Thankfully my Grams is really healthy otherwise (no high/low sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. and no cancer, Alzheimer, etc....)

Thursday is important, so please keep her in your prayers, no matter who you pray with.  To me, it all goes to the same guy, no matter what name you give him.

Mom calls me at 1:30-2pm, to tell me Grams fell out of bed. 

It's a multiple fracture in her left shoulder and a multiple fracture in one knee.

She's going into surgery, don't know when yet.

I came home from work to freshen up, since my monthlies came today, and go back to the hospital (which is right next to my workplace).

I hate going to hospitals, even in cases like this.  I love my Grandma with all my being, but I HATE hospitals....

Anyway, please keep her in your prayers, thoughts and well-wishes.  An 80something having surgery is not a good thing.

OMG. OMG! OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!Ksklslkgsdlkfkjsdhfkjdsghkdjghksdjfhklajsf

Johnny Depp to Shoot New Movie, "The Rum Diary," in Puerto Rico

Methinks I have to go Johnny!hunting!!!!!!!

Coming home from work today was another experience.  C/p'ed (edited) from my aim with Nikki just now, because there's no way i can write this up again. 

Joey: *needs comfort hugs*
Nikki: *hugs tight*
Nikki: What is wrong?
Joey: I just saw a guy fly after being hit by a car
Nikki: O___O
Nikki: What the!?
Nikki: Oh dear god *hugs* ;_;
Joey: i'm home now, i'm ok
Nikki: But still... Man
Nikki: That is traumatizing..
Joey: i'm coming from work, and i see the car to my right stop, so i stop, not 3 feet from a guy crossing the street (4 lanes each way) illegally
Joey: he saw me stop and kept going only to be hit by the car coming on my left
Nikki: ...ouch
Joey: the guy flew and fell back to my lane, also a few feet away
Joey: it took about 5-10 seconds for my body to catch up with my brain to call 911
Joey: i'm just, glad, so very glad that God kept me from being the one to hit the guy.

"The truck door or the house door?"

From Charlaine Harris' "Dead to the World" which I was about to start reading, since I just finished "Club Dead". 

Yes, I did get started on this series because I watched some eps of True Blood, but I like the books much better than the series.  Highly recommended to anyone who likes vampires and mysteries.

Having nothing to do today, I decided to watch something.  Surf the channel it was, and what do I click?  How I Met Your Mother.

Why, well, most of my flist absolutely love it, and I always value and respect the opinion of my flist.

I had no idea what this show was about, I only really knew that Neil Patrick Harris (who has rocks my socks since DH, MD) was in it.  I didn't even know that Alysson Hannigan was in it.

Watched the Pilot.  Had some laughs, enjoyed it quite well.

8 episodes later, I'm hooked.

I bow to the knowledge of my flist. 

*goes to watch more*
