No, not the Dr. Drew Pinsky version (despite my oft proclaimed affinity for the triplet dad's efforts), but our beloved 92-year-old Papa's recent therapy. An in-home fall two days before Christmas broke a few ribs and caused an impressive laceration on the back of his right hand.
After a few days in the hospital and a just shy of three weeks in rehab, he was sprung by his beloved great-grandtwins and their mama just this morning (hence the afternoon edition).
[It may look like Papa is scolding, Darren; he's not. He's giving him his responsibilities -- balloon management -- for the trip home. Sarah was in charge of his stuffed panda.]
Papa's perseverance, determination and rapid healing Make My Monday. So what is making your Monday afternoon? Do tell, and be sure to link back to Twinfatuation to share webwide!

Such a sweet picture!
I'm so glad your grandpa is home now! Very cute photo of him & the twins!
Oh I love Papa's and Grandma's. They are the best. And the kids adore them. It seems like they automaticaly gravitate to them.
I'm glad Papa is ok. I know falling can be hard on elderly folks.
Happy Monday!! :-)
Aw, they do sort of look like they're in trouble. But, the real story is so cute! (I love grandpas!)
Very cool that they get to "help" break Papa out and carry his things too!! Very cool, glad you Monday was a good one :)
Go Papa! It is nice to see spry seniors!
So glad he's all mended! Your kids are so lucky to have a relationship with him.
Great Grandparents are so special! And I really think that kids help keep our "golden citizens" young.
We partcicpated in Makes My Monday over at www.foxtwins.com!
What great news that he is OK and coming home.
Good deal that he is ok and has been sprung from the hospital!
I am a nurse on an Extended Care unit at a hospital. We are there to rehab people back (among other patients that don't rehab back) and I love having someone that we get them back on their feet and they get to go home!
Your post made my monday as well!
I also did a Makes My Monday post, but wasn't sure if you were participating. I will add the link back to your site now... little late, but it will be there!
So sweet! I love that you guys sprung him out!
I love that he is giving out responsibilities.
Great spirit.
