Actually, Grandma is alive and well today... out with the rest of the family in NH having a lobster dinner for her 95th birthday! She still tells me, "Be glad you're not crippled," even when I went to see her a few months ago and she needed to go shopping. I had to sit and rest, using the walker is exhausting and the pain wears me down too. I told her that I am going to move back to NH in January to be near my mom, that I need help. Grandma replied, just as serious as a heart attack, "well, I know its hard but just be glad you're not crippled."
?!?!?!? Really??? 40 and using a walker, Gram? Wow!
