If there was any question where I get my stubborn pride from...

[centerspire]

My grandfather is in the hospital. He broke his hip after a fall. Okay, he's 89 and has had chronic knee problems since I was a kid...this is not unexpected or unbelievable. What defies logic is that he fell LAST WEEK. He would not let my grandmother call anyone. He stayed on the floor for a week. I don't even know where to go with that. Apparently, the doctors found a blood clot in his knee (most likely the cause of the fall), so it's really good that he finally got to the hospital. But sheesh.

Anyway, I'm kind of standing by, waiting to see if I need to fly home or not. Who knows?

I did about $400 worth of retail therapy today, it would have helped more if the news had come first, but, what do you do?
