So... I guess the "I'm baaaack" announcement was premature.

My dad fell and broke his hip just a couple of days after he got out of the hospital (when I started the thread).

The docs fixed the break, and he's been in physio since. Not progressing as fast as last time. Slow but steady improvement.

And my mom has a chronic health problem that has worsened.

Needless to say, all us kids have been busy. It sharpens the focus of what's important in life at the moment. I haven't duct taped a single piece of coroplast to a car in many months!
