Hope and her "issues"

Just got off SKype with Hope- Hope has a reputation for laughing in life- threatening events (like the time when her and Charity were rowing a canoe; the canoe was about to tip and Hope was laughing and standing up. Charity had to use her meanest schoolteacher voice to yell at her to calm her down) . Well, Charity and I were just talking to her and telling her about the details of the surgery and recovery. She was giggling so much that we could barely understand her at times, a total madwoman. Finally I asked her if SHE was on Vicodin. Evidently that was pretty funny, as she burst forth into a whole new wave of giggles. Oh, well. I hope she's caught her breath by now.
