Update On My Grandmother

She is in a lot of pain. The cause seems to be arthritis in her lower back and legs. They have her on pain meds and she appears to be doing better, but is still not able to walk unaided. She will probably be in the hospital for a few days, and then go to a rehab type place for physical therapy. I am glad she is not "sick" per se.

She really does remarkably well given her age (80). She still lives in her own home, she still drives (although probably not as much as she used to) and she is a sharp as she ever was. Arthritis stinks, but it's almost like a fact of life when you get older, isn't it?
