All I can think about is Gina and her broken hip. It happened about two years ago. Just like Gerry, she fell. Unlike Gerry, they chose not to fix hers. Instead she laid in a bed for three months. Moaning in pain. Completely incoherent. They didn't even put a diaper on her. Just a pad like I use for my dog. It breaks my heart to remember.

Gerry's surgery went well. The hip was broken in three places, but they were able to pin everything back together. She'll be in the hospital a couple of days and then to rehab.

She's checked in and in a room. The hip is broken at the socket. Surgery is tomorrow. I think I stood four of those hours. Thankfully I am home, showered and ready for the season finale of Mad Men.

I'm just home from the hospital. Neighbor has MRSA in the heart valves. Not good. She is quarantined and will be moved to a skilled nursing facility because it could take weeks on antibiotics to kick this thing. She's 87, so the odds are working against her, but you never know . . .

Mom's breathing has started acting up again -- she just finished the antibiotic yesterday.

And my Spurs lost tonight to the stupid Lakers. Sheesh.
