My grandmother was having her other hip replaced so she could get around faster and continue to cause trouble. I flew in to surprise her and hang out for a few days during and after the op with the hopes I could distract her with some silly stories or Scrabble. We all survived, and even though she is convinced the Brighams docs made her legs uneven lengths (I think she is just used to being on a heeled-over racing sailboat), life is better. I lucked out with a last minute ticket to see the Boston Symphony Orchestra (8 bucks!!) and spent a lot of time walking around near the hospital. Amusingly enough, the hospital was very close to the Boston Museum of Fine Art, the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum and also Mass Art where Michelle and Ann and I had been just a year previously. Unplanned, unexpected grins.
