mother of mine
yay! according to the hospital there seems to be nothing physically wrong with my mother, so one worry laid to rest at least! yesterday she got the results back from her mri and brain wave scan, and the experts say she’s fine. Ofc I had to laugh at what some down-to-earth doctor had told her: tripping over things is fine, it’s what happens when you hit the ground that you have to be wary of! now she just has to get her dislocated finger working again, and she’ll really be back at it! I’ve advised her to slowly start working it in some hot water, making fists and the like, but I will have to watch out she actually does this exercise rather than just pretending to for the benefit of me.
as to her household gadgets, the laptop I got her seems to be working well enough, although her isp is a bit shit and she doesn’t want to get a new one because she’s old :p no really, she limits herself to sending emails and just doing some bank stuff every now and then, rather than more. I have gently introduced her to google and wikipedia, but still she just sits and looks at the screen rather than reading the letters it displays haha. speaking of letters, her new printer is amazing! I actually quite tempted to get the same one for myself! in typical HP fashion, it does want to install a lot of shit to go with the printer rather than just it’s driver which never fails to irk me *remembers the days when he had to install 300MB worth of software just to get his scanner running*
