AFK - Away from keyboard

Published by perennialsam at 1:35 pm under My Personal Experience Edit This

I haven’t gotten to post so far this week because I had to go home Saturday evening -my grandma is in the hospital.  She is almost 84 and has been a very independent lady, living by herself until now in rural southern Ontario.  It is time she moved to a place where she can have ongoing medical care but I’m not sure that this will happen as she is cognizant and refuses to go. 

My sister and I are staying at her house for the time being and there isn’t a computer there, so I likely won’t post again until I go back to my fiance’s (hopefully this weekend).  My grandma actually had her first phone jack put in less than 6 months ago - before this the wire from her rotary dial phone went directly out to the road.  She upgraded the phone to the push-button type we are familiar with, but I think she may still be on a party line (several houses share the line).  It’s nice to be out in the country for a bit. 

Hope everyone is having a good week, I should return to regular posting after this weekend if not before then.
