Oy. Just... oy.

[wwfpooh]

Agreed. When things work out, it's very nice indeed.

Update! Again.
It's so nice when things work out.

I know that feeling and there's nothing like it!

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'm glad things are going well for you, and I'm glad your grandmother's doing alright! You know, weddings are wonderful events, but I'd just as soon avoid all the hastle associated with them!
And I ask you, what would a family gathering be without at least one of those "come when you can, leave when you must, eat when you're hungry" parties?
Good luck with everything!

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah, not a big fan of hassle either, Kate.

Uuuuuuuuuuuupdate!

Grandma got up and walking today, with a walker. And they gave her some exercises to do, and she overdid them, of course, and tired herself out. But otherwise she's doing swell, and moving to the rehab center tomorrow.

Also, the new washer and dryer were installed today. Which means now I get to do laundry.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Sorry to hear about your grandmother but glad that she is doing well. that's always a good thing!

Wait to go on the washing machine, heh!

It never rains, just pours, doesn't it? Sorry I'm just now seeing this. We're in the midst of "Oh-my! Family is descending on us!" craziness, too, so I've only been darting in and out.

I'm glad your Grandmother is better --her determination will carry her forward and hopefully stand her in good stead as she heals. And looking forward to a wedding now HAS to be infinitely better than looking forward to surgery, right? Hope the day and all the participants are joyous. Oh! And look! There's an "oy" in joyous--how convenient!

<Hugs!> Thanks everyone!

The wedding was WONDERFUL. It was a beautiful ceremony. I cried twice. HAPPY tears! Tears of OH MY GOSH IT'S REALLY HAPPENING! It was lovely. And the reception was GREAT! I haven't heard of or from anyone who did NOT have an amazing time. Also, as far as I can tell, my toast has been unanimously voted the best of the evening. Grandma was mentioned numerous times in other toasts, though, and my sister-- the bride-- even quoted her directly.

As for Grandma herself, she has seen some pictures and a handful of very brief videos of the wedding, and heard about it. Apparently she WAS feeling up to attending the wedding that day, but there was a whole bunch of documentation that had to go through for it, she only would have been able to go to the ceremony, and they could only get the Medicar to take her there, not back, so... it didn't work out. But she's doing very well. Still in a wheelchair, but she can get from her bed to the wheelchair without any trouble at all, and she didn't mind having my fifteen-pound dog on her lap. (The dog wasn't comfortable, but Grandma was!) We had a lovely visit with her yesterday, and while it does look like she'll be in the rehab center for a while, it does NOT look like it'll be another six month stretch, or anywhere NEAR that, as the last one was.

So does anyone else equate "rehab center" with a facility entirely different from the one where my grandmother actually is, thanks to countless celebrities?

It's my feeling that celebrities are pretty hopeless.
