Easter morning – 5:15 am. I rise to check the ham baking in the oven. It is for the most part done. I turn off the oven & go back to bed. Linda is in Houston helping Kristin move. 6:45 a.m. Can’t get back to sleep. Rise, make coffee and watch recordings of Venture Brothers cartoons. 7:30 a.m. Shower & dress for Church. All of Linda’s tribe is scheduled to meet with Granny & myself at the “old” family church. GMaw hasn’t seen many of them in a couple of years. 8:10 a.m. I prepare pots to brew tea for the after church lunch I am to fix. 8:15 a.m. Granny rises, uses walker to make way to her bathroom, drops trow & does a triple back flip and bounces off floor multiple times. Skippy looks on in horror. I was only 5 or so steps down the hall. She had a sore tail bone and left hip, mildy bruised rib cage, skinned elbow, and a knot on her noggin the size of half an egg shell. Called Laura Jeanne, Linda’s sister to come & clean Granny so I could take her to the ER. Granny is exceptionally pissed off that she will not get to see the family at church. 3:00 p.m. Granny is in great pain but refuses to tell doctor. Pain is (after all) a sign of weakness. 3:15 p.m. Doctor informs us the CAT scan & X-rays do not show any new fractures or breaks, but lots of old ones, tells Granny not to do it again & releases her. No pain meds for Granny. 3:50 p.m. I begin cooking the rest of the Easter meal. It seems everyone has waited to eat in order not to upset Granny any more than the “no Easter service” issue. 5:00 p.m. Lots of family have arrived & fawned over the now purple goose egg on her noggin. I set the food out & tell everyone to dig in. I go to bedroom & put my feet up. 5:30 p.m. I eat. Family continues to graze. 8:30 p.m. Family leaves. I put up leftovers & do dishes. 9:30 p.m. Linda arrives & puts Granny to bed. She is hurting bad. I watch recordings of Bleach cartoons. 11:15 p.m. Finally feel like I can go to bed.
