well that was exciting

This morning I got a call from the 'rents' housekeeper, who'd gotten a frantic call from my father in the hospital because no one was answering the phone at the house and he was worried about the stepmonster.   The short version is that she'd fallen at some point in the night, had the EMTs come out at 4am and left, then again at 10:30 when they took her to the emergency room.   Shortly thereafter she was discharged from the emergency room.  I spent 3 hours tracking down snippets of information from neighbors and the hospital, and after confirming that she had indeed been discharged, called her cell to see what was up.  She was waiting for a cab to take her home and had talked to my father, and wasn't forthcoming with any other details.  HA.  BUSTED!

Sidenote: Dad was under the impression that the housekeeper was coming to get her.  Guess she's having trouble keeping her stories straight.

I called her nephew to let him know the sequence of events as I knew them and that Something Was Up with his auntie.  As far as I'm concerned, she's his problem.  I'm quite sure stepmonster will be furious that I tattled on her, but tough.  Also, she had talked to her nephew late this week, but had neglected to mention that dad was in the hospital and she was on her own in the house.

Now I can get back to taking care of me and this headcold I've developed since yesterday.

Good for you. One way to help is *not* to help them lie.
