back from the dead

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts.

My grandmother escaped from the hospital -- we threw all of her stuff into plastic bags on Friday morning and ran off before they could change their minds -- and is tentatively living in her own home-like space in assisted living with outpatient physical therapy. She has terrible unexplained inflammation in her hands which is seriously curtailing her abilities to maintain and sustain herself. She isn't suffering from any immediately threatening condition besides a flagging will to live.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for things to do besides read and watch TV that don't require a lot of stamina or physical dexterity or personal mobility? My mom and I have been drawing blanks, although we did hit up the used bookstore for some fresh books, and, of course, visited and chatted while we were there. I wish we were closer.

In more cheerful (?) news, someone's written the Inferno with zombies! Now, why must it be a $50 limited edition?
