**Palikia** , I’m glad you’re feeling better. It’s too bad your lovely day out turned into a nightmare. But it’s a good excuse to eat lots of ice cream. And milkshakes. Yum! **Darth** , please don’t be too hard on yourself. I would have done the same thing in that situation. Sometimes I forget to put my car in gear, even when I’m not having a huge crisis. You’re a good kid, and your mom loves you! ME ---

**Palikia** is home now. And after the number of tests she went through, it seems her second fall was brought about by a combination of factors, mostly along the lines of bad day/ dehydrated/ hot outdoor weather/ painkillers/ just one of those things. I think folks at the hospital were starting to become frustrated by how damn healthy she is… Thanks again, folks. I think we’re done here, but I’m not sure how to end this thread. “Goodnight, Gracie!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/moms-day-long-and-awful/174475.md?page=2)
