This has not been a great weekend so far.
Guests arrived a little early. They had been so certain of their arrival time, and I had gotten distracted with boys, that one of their rooms (and the patio) weren't quite ready. Oh well, I guess... scrambled a little and things seemed OK.
Then this morning wife comes down from third floor, waives to her MIL in the dining room, misses the bottom step and goes down. Got her a chair to prop her leg on, told her to leave her shoe on, and got her some ice (R-I-C-E). Worried because it didn't hurt too much. As I learned with my ankle, sprains hurt way more than breaks... sure enough, after a trip to the ER she has a broken (non-weight bearing) bone. So much for her day at the Fair today. Her dh has spent the day running errands and fetching food and meds, but seems quite chipper tonight.
Neither dh nor I have mentioned anything about insurance, but I'm dreading it. We have expressed our sympathy, of course... I don't even know what our deductible is, but I don't want to find out.
Tonight I learn that the MIL is now at a relative's house and the couple has moved to the first floor room (with some of their stuff still upstairs). They haven't asked for a refund or discount, and I haven't offered.
Dh checked in the vegan, so I'll have that challenge in the morning.
Maybe everything's fine, but I'm still on edge...
