Historia Calamitatum

Well, what would you think if you recieved the following e-mail?

Well, the hospital kept Grandma because she had a bladder infection and they thought she might have pneumonia (today decided that she didn't) and that she might have an ulcer (not yet tested). They are pleased with her improvement since yesterday, though I thought she was quite spacy and weak when I went to visit after work.

I don't think any of this is serious--just uncomfortable for her--and that she'll be back at the Heritage soon.

Dad has a head cold. Genevieve lost her collar. Joan [my aunt. -AH] is on her way to Boston and Maine for the baby [Laura, my cousin's, baby] arrival. (The baby's head has dropped and Laura has had faint contractions.) Oh, and poor Matt [Laura's husband] was out walking the dog, slipped and fell, and broke his leg in three places. Apparently the "lucky" side of this story is that he waited to be rescued on snow and the cold kept the leg from swelling, which made it easy to set. Laura's hormones are raging so profoundly that she can't tell the Matt story without laughing hysterically. John [uncle] said, "It's a good thing that he really loves her."


What is with my family this week?
