My 79 year old Grandmother

That's wonderful news AH, I'm so happy for her!

great news...wish her a speedy recovery...and watch them pain pills..nothing like granny addicted to percodans...and dont let the younger ones steal them...

I'm not too worried about this. I don't see her enjoying being doped up. The plus side to the drug though... My mom says she's more relaxed than she's ever seen her. She's a very uptight woman.

That's wonderful news AH, I'm so happy for her!

I think we just might see her do the canyon again.

 

[strollingbones]

i take it you have never done percodans? more likely they will give her vicadins..vic either work or they dont...make sure her doctor is good with pain management...and by that i mean the right drug combo to keep her out of pain as much as possible

Glad to hear your grandma is going to be ok! I love that she's full of life, God Bless Her!

Tell her we are all thinking of her!

She was raised by a violent drunk Republican and rejected all of his political views. She was the one that walked away from the families views. Only 1 of her 3 children follow her views. The other two are conservatives.

My mom and uncle are on top of all that thankfully.

I have faith that she'll be fine. She's too stubborn not to be.

Yeah she still shocks me with her hiking ablities. I have a feeling once she's up and going again, she'll hike it again.

There's a guy where I ski who's 80-ish and had both knees replaced last year or so. He's back at it the old geezer.

I hope your granny does well on it.

 

[Angel Heart]

She's doing great. She's already back home and walking around town just fine with out a cane.

Oh and yeah she found a way to blame Bush for it... 'Because he cut national parks funding, the rock wasn't removed'.

She's wrong BTW...

President pushes boost in funding for national parks - USATODAY.com

National parks would be a big winner under President Bush's 2008 budget, and a plan to match up to $100 million annually in private donations could guarantee increases for a decade.
Bush's budget, being unveiled today, would give the National Park Service $2.4 billion next year, administration officials told USA TODAY. That includes a $258 million increase for daily operations, up 14.5%. Since 2002, those funds have risen 1.5% above inflation.

The president proposes adding at least $100 million a year for the next 10 years. The funds would be used to hire 3,000 seasonal park rangers, guides and maintenance workers each summer, an increase of more than 50%. In addition, more than 1 million children could be enrolled in youth programs.

But she doesn't let facts stop her hate.
