WAY O.T. RANT!
My brother died last March. Heart attack, almost 60yo. Find out today that
my baby sis (51 in 2 months) is in the hospital. 2 stents. It is snowing cats & dogs in my neck o' the woods, so I can't get to her. SIGH The only way I like snow, is to see it on T.V. from Florida!! I told DH we shoud have left LAST Monday instead of next Nana....... thanks for your ears |

WAY O.T. RANT!
That's what we're here for, Nana - to let you (and anyone else who needs
to) rant. So sorry to hear about your sister. My sister works at a local hospital in cardiac cath, and she's mentioned that they continue to see younger patients all the time. Of course, to my way of thinking, "younger patients" means anyone my age or younger, and since I'm 60 now, I think she probably means those in their 30s and 40s. I know how frustrating it must be to not be able to be with her right now. I'm sure she'll appreciate the comfort you could give her in person, but even reassurance over the phone would probably be welcome. Hugs from sisters are good no matter what form they come in!

Sorry about your sister. By the way, yesterday we had rain storms with high
winds. There were tornado warnings. Today we still had wind up to 25 mph. Barbara in Central Florida |

Sounds like you've been thru a lot lately, so do take care of yourself, Nana, and knows prayers are being said for you all. My 87 year old aunt (who's like a second mom to me) just took a fall and landed on her small beautiful face. Her nose and glasses helped some with the fall but she did crack two neck vertabrea's and had to be taken to Harbor View in Seattle. My aunt is one strong individual and is not taking this well at all....my uncle said the meds finally kicked in and she slept. I love her so soon much....hate to know she's hurting. Donna in WA |

Oh my -- how scary! In addition to the pain meds... make sure they ask the
doc about the need for calcium supplements to help in the healing of the vertebra. As we age -- generally we intake less calcium (not so many milkshakes and bowls of cereal, I guess). Overall -- a really well balance diet is important so that all necessary nutrients are available. And I've always heard the smoking slows the healing of broken bones. Anyways -- I'm sure her doc will give her the best advice (I'm not a doc!). Hope she heals well and quickly! -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves "MunnDE" wrote in message ...
