kayreYesterday my friend Irene moved into a senior living center; and as we agreed a few months ago, her movers brought her cute little spinet piano to me. I've never actually owned a piano! For a while I had an electronic organ, but it was never as satisfying to play as the church organs to which I had access, so I gave it away. I did pick up a good electronic keyboard, which I have just donated. I'm really pleased and touched by the gift.
Early this morning I got a text: "I need your help. I fell last night and have broken my right wrist/hand. Please find out where there's an urgent care center. Thank you!" It was Irene, who had been exhausted and in an unfamiliar place, and tripped over something late at night. I found the information and offered to drive, and spent three hours there with her. It is indeed broken, and she's in a splint for a week, and will get a cast next week. Her daughter is here for a few more days and will get her well settled in her new apartment. (Daughter was very grateful to leave the medical stuff to me while she dealt with unpacking.)
