aging sucks

I picked up my mother to take her in for her bloodwork this morning. I always think I give enough extra time but I forget HOW SLOW MY PARENTS ARE. She is still in terrible pain from her fall. I don't have a great feeling about this. She goes in the hospital even for a short time---my dad just can not stay alone. What the hell do we do? There are certain days I go over there and I just realize how fast things are changing. I just don't know.

I'll go re-read my Vertebrats posts---that will cheer me up. Somebody leave me a cheerful post. I LOVE posts.

I hope everything is o.k. this afternoon.
