Hi FML!  Elizabeth here, daughter of Bad Lucl Bob the bone guy.  Dad made it
to California ok, sometime really early in the morning.  Uncle David picked
him up at the airport and they raced home in time for the surgery.  He just
called and Grams is ok.  I guess that when she fell, she landed on her left
hip and, according to dad, "broke her femoral neck." I had to look it up in
his medical dictionary to see what he meant.  Dad has a collection of about
20 dictionaries, and is always looking for more.  In fact, he is writting a
bone dictionary right now and is about 1/2 finished.  Anyway, Grams had her
left hip replaced this morning.  Dad said she is now Bobonic.
 
Andrew and I will fly out later tonight on the red eye.  Dad said he bought
a new 56 modem for his laptop, so he should be able to get online for a
while from long distance and will try to let everyone know that is happening
when he gets the time.
 
Thank you Barbara for the note.  I do like dad a little, even if he is hard
headed.  And he does strange things, like buying me the complete collection
of Kirk Vonnigut (sp) just because I am helping out with Sandy.  I think
he's ok.
 
Elizabeth, daughter of Bad Luck Bob and picker upper of pooper.
