The family goes to hell

For those who read often I mentioned some brief time ago I was concerned about my parent's trip to France and the recent rash of injuries

Well this morning my prediction came true...my brother called me and said my parents are coming home tomorrow (well really today its 2:20am Saturday) because my Mother has "blown out her back". 9 hour flight with cervical disc issues...oh joy. Due to extensive costs of calls my father didn't give him details so I'm all upset...shot my work day to hell and my stats will show for it. Too fucking bad.

Saturday we have 2 commitments-Suz's departmental work Summer Bash and the Fran Clan's daughter Erin's birthday. Mom is apparently going right to the hospital from the airport so at least she won't see that the renovators have torn her kitchen to hell. We won't see her until probably Sunday because if she's in that bad shape, she'll need to settle down after the flight and get doped up properly-who knows when surgery will be. We're taking my brother's kids so that they don't have to see Grandma so uncomfortable.

I've decided I needed to do something that will distract her when we see her...so I shaved my head again!!! (No new pictures sorry).
