My crazy uncle
Mar. 13th, 2008 07:54 pmI talked to my grandma tonight. She's 88 and doing great, though it took a long time for her to get my new phone number down. She's also in a wonderful assisted living facility and is keeping herself active and creative, for which my gratitude knows no bounds.
Anyway, she told me that my uncle was in an accident in Iraq. To which I responded, my blood starting to boil "He's in Iraq?" He just got back in August, but it wouldn't surprise me if he charged right back again. I know he wants to go to Afghanistan. But no, he has a bad ankle from when he was in Iraq, and had surgery on it recently.
He was put under general anesthetic, and immediately sent home afterwards. He didn't like this, but although his friend who was supposed to help him didn't show up, guess what he did? He drove himself home. From Long Beach to whatever LA suburb he lives in. And it doesn't surprise me one bit. Gah! He's like my grandpa.
