A really bad, really good, Week!

This is my Dad, the Dailylife Grandpop, a few years ago.

Here he is a few more years ago.

Here he is a lot more years ago.

Here he is a whole lot of years ago!  He will be 98 in August, after all.  Jeez!

Anyway, Dad fell and broke his hip this week.  They operated and he is doing fine and is already up on his feet (they don’t let you hang around post-surgery anymore!).

======================

This is Dad and my Step Mom Sarah.  We think Dad tripped on her walker and fell, dragging her down on top of him, resulting in a pretty good shiner for her we hear.  She is doing fine too, now.

Why was she using a walker, you ask?  Because she just got released from the hospital this week after a stroke!

======================

But wait!  There’s more!

This is my Niece Mariah a few years ago.

This is my Niece Mariah and Dad a lot more years ago!

This weekend Mariah got hit head on by a drunk driver (in her former Toyota Yaris…my sister finally had to tell them to stop sending her photos of the little bit of crumpled car that is left!).  Mariah is fine (if you can call a concussion fine); they released her right away.

======================

But wait!  There’s more!

Really?

Really.

This is my sister-in-law.  She fell and broke her leg pretty badly…last Fall, so that is not part of this tale!

Her significant other’s Mother fell and has a concussion also…this week.

======================

But wait!  There’s more!

This is my old boss and friend Vance, along with his wife Peggy.

Vance was outside washing his car this weekend, and fell and broke his clavicle!

======================

But wait!  There’s…well, there isn’t anymore I have heard of, anyway.  Isn’t this enough for one week?

======================

So that seems to be the Bad from this week.  What seems to be the Good?  Well, we are all (surprisingly!) still ALIVE, and to paraphrase an old Country song…

“That makes us the Winners!”

Addendum #1-from my sister: “That’s great! Also in the last (is it only 2?) weeks, my sister-in-law fell and broke her hip, her husband rolled his truck on ice, and (Ex-)Edward had a knee replaced. But everyone seems ok so I guess we are all winners!”

Addendum #2: DD#2’s dog was diagnosed with epilepsy!
