Scare

Had a little scare involving my grandfather the other evening.

My sister phoned to tell me he had been taken to the hospital after a fall at my grandparent's home. (He's doing okay, though, and is flirting with nurses. Heh.) Grandpa is eight-nine and Grandma is almost eighty-eight, and they've lived in the same house for over sixty-five years. But they're both getting more and more frail -- both physically and, alas, mentally.

One of my two uncles has been very reluctant to place them in an assisted-care facility -- or even to hire a nurse -- but hopefully this will help convince him it's time to place them in an environment where they won't inadvertently hurt themselves.
