Perspective

[lurker172602]

I was looking forward to today. I had planned, with a friend, to go out to brunch, then we were going to watch the Boats Afloat procession, then enjoy a glass or two in the sun.
I was so disappointed when she texted me to say she couldn't go. A bit annoyed really to have my day spoilt.



Then she phoned me to tell me they were on their way to her elderly mother who had had a bad fall and was going into surgery and it wasn't looking good (because of underlying health issues).

Puts my tiny irritation into perspective really. We need these reminders about what is important sometimes don't we.

I am glad to hear you Mum is okay Freddie, I lost my Dad to a fall 11 years ago this month he was 79, on Thursday my Step Father in Law died after having a fall he was 92.

What seems minor when you are young can be a killer when you are old so you have to keep an eye out for the elderly.
