Prereading
Georgina had quite a bit of success with Orson. She performed her duties quickly and efficiently and left Orson with healthy food, a clean house and folded laundry. Her ample experience meant that she didn’t put up with anything from Orson and was more than willing to leave the grumpy man alone. For an extra fee, she was willing to drive him to his appointments, so Carmen and her mother were able to enjoy their visits to Orson’s house.
They were coming home from a visit a few weeks later, when Deborah’s phone rang. She answered, “Hello Dr. Beagrie,” and then listened in silence for a long time. Her face went white and she grasped her daughter’s arm. “We’ll be right there,” she said finally and hung up. “What happened,” Carmen asked, trying not to panic. “Maude is in the hospital,” her mother answered. “She fell and hit her head.” Deborah Joy gasped and grabbed the keys from her mother. “I’ll drive,” she shouted and raced back out to the car.

Deborah exclaimed, “I can’t believe it! A heart attack? She’s so healthy. She does exercise all the time.” “And it’s a good thing she has so many activities. Her friend’s found her almost immediately after it happened, when they came to pick her up.” A nurse led the family to the waiting room, where they had to stay until more tests were finished. About an hour later, Doctor Beagrie released Maude and they brought her back to their house to recover.

After almost another anxious hour, Doctor Beagrie appeared in the waiting room and ushered them forward. “She’s stable now but she’s suffered a lot of damage.” “What happened?” Deborah Joy asked. “You said she hit her head.” “Yes,” Doctor Beagrie continued. “She had a mild heart attack and collapsed on the floor. She has a broken leg and a cut on her head, but she hasn’t suffered any brain damage.
After only a few weeks though, Maude started to worry that she was becoming a burden. “I don’t want someone to have to be here every day to take care of me,” she told her son.

Deborah Joy loved having Gramma at her house. There was a constant stream of visitors who always brought casseroles or cupcakes to eat. Maude was always willing to play cards or house activity, and as soon as she could get out of bed, she wheeled herself around the house like an expert and played beautiful music on the piano every day.

“Relax Maude, no one thinks you’re a burden. We love having you here." Deborah spoke to her husband's mother calmly. "Besides, if you’re here, we’ll know immediately if you’ve had another fall. I couldn’t bear it if you went back home on your own and something happened.” “You don’t have to worry about me. Doctor Beagrie says I am just fine. As soon as my leg has healed, I can head
