Family Updates
My father’s foot-long blood clot has apparently dissapated enough for him to return to his usual activities of long hikes and climbing and not sitting around the house in a bad mood. He seems to be back to his usual self — whether that’s entirely a good thing or not remains to be seen. 
Don’t get me wrong — I love my dad; he just can be the most annoying man on Earth.
My grandmother who lives in NM apparently is having a lot of falls. The assisted living people have apparently set up all these alarms and such to let them know if she so much as tries to stand up since she has a nasty habit of getting out of her wheelchair without help despite being told not to. I told my mom she should put up some sort of sign that shows how many days since the last fall and everytime 7 days goes by without a fall, she should give my gramma a treat or something. My mom is considering it.
