plonqI spoke prophetic words this morning. Earlier today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_gneech posted about how his dad had taken a spill and broken his hip. In my response I said, "[sigh] My own parents are getting up to the age where I am starting to worry about things like that (dad's pushing 80)."
I just learned tonight mom took a spill off the step ladder and broke her collar bone. =(
Apparently this happened on Saturday, and I'm just the last one to find out. I'm somewhat mortified, because this is how I found out (changed her user name here):
[21:33] [plonq's mom]: his lapyop has gone to Toronto for maintenance
[21:34] [plonq's mom]: uh laptop
[21:34] Plonq: I'm in the market for a new computer as well, but I'm taking my time and shopping around. The prices are really dropping just now, so I don't want to jump in too quick. I figure if I wait a month or two I can get much more machine for the same price as I'd pay now.
[21:34] Plonq: Heh. I didn't even catch the misspelling until you pointed it out.
[21:35] [plonq's mom]: i'm typing with only ome hand and don't know where the letters are that way
[21:36] Plonq: Typing with one hand again? Are you eating while you type, or did you do something to your other hand?
[21:37] [plonq's mom]: i broke my left collar bone on Saturday
Urgh.
