I called Matthew and Mother tonight to alert them to be on the lookout for a box of grapefruit that would be delivered to them tomorrow a.m. (12/23); someone sent me a case of it and Gerry and I both hate gf. Matthew informed me that while he and Mother were counting change at church, Mother felt a little dizzy and couldn't walk straight. He was advised to take M to the hospital, which he did. They did a CAT scan...which I guess indicated she may have had a small stroke and a blood clot in her brain (I think). She also had(has?) high blood pressure. M was happy to find out she weighed in at only 117 lbs! They are going to do an MRI tomorrow. Immediately after talking to Matthew, I talked to Leah who'd talked to Mother. Mother said she felt fine. She'd earlier told Matthew she felt better right after he left the hospital (might she be implying something to Matthew?). Mom didn't want anyone to call her at the hospital tonight since she can't hear very well and she's not in a private rm. Tlkg to KK who did talk briefly to M and says she sounds fine. So, basically, don't worry until there is definately something about which to worry...just thought you'd want to know and [Rita] would be might PO'd if not informed. Mother is at Bethesda (940-764-2803, rm 803). Hope y'all are having fun; but, wish you were here. LXO, Margaret

I called G'ma this a.m. at the hospital and she sounded very chipper and fine. She said she feels alot better today and will be going home tomorrow. She is on blood thinners and apparently that has made her feel much better. I told her it was probably time to start going to the doctor again....it's been 66 years. She laughed and agreed. I asked her if she asked the doctor to show her his report card. She said she didn't...but I am still thinking about calling up and requesting a transcript.
In short, Mom and Jenny...don't panic. She sounds fine and in good spirits and I feel even a little blessed personally. I had thought she was in Houston, now that I know she isn't I will get to spend part of Christmas with her. The only concern of mine is that she didn't immediately know who I was when I told her I was her favorite at the start of the phone call. Perhaps the blood thinners are making her a little dizzy?
