Especially with an older person, they might have just taken her to the hospital to give her a thorough going over. My mother (86) has fallen 3 or 4 times in the past couple of years. Once she broke her arm, once she required 4 stitches to her head and once she had 7 stitches to her lip (fell on her face--ouch!). The only time they took her in the ambulance was when she was out by herself (last time we let her drive) and she didn't have me to drive her. It may have been easier for them to take Jon's grandma in an ambulance rather than him try to get her into the car if she was hurt. Hope she's okay. Older people don't heal as quickly. We don't bounce as well as we used to either.

For some reason I was visualizing her tumbling down the driveway since they seem to spend lots of time out there.. hopefully not.

From ETONLINE: "Jon & Kate Plus 8" dad Jon Gosselin says he doesn't trust his wife of ten years Kate Gosselin and doesn't believe his marriage can be fixed. "Our relationship will never be fixed," the reality star tells Chris Cuomo on "Good Morning America," in an interview that will air in its entirety on September 8. "I don't trust her anymore. I was abused ... I was beaten down ... I'm not going back to that lifestyle." Jon and Kate announced their separation earlier this year on their TLC reality show. "I got married at 22. I had twins at 23. I had sextuplets at 27. Bye-bye, twenties," the 32-year-old dad tells "GMA." He explains why he chose to marry his now estranged wife, "When I met Kate, I was 20 and she was 22. I thought she would never go out with me again because of the age difference. ... In the beginning, I never dated a girl with a path. ... She's very scheduled, very organized, career driven." Jon continues, "She's a beautiful girl, which when you're 20 that's kind of all you think about." In the interview, Gosselin also reveals his feelings for rumored love interest Hailey Glassman and Kate's relationship with her bodyguard, Steve Neild.

Every time he opens his mouth, I like him less. But that's pretty hard to do, since I don't like him one speck anymore.

He said it, we didn't - "never dated a girl with a path", so he's just returning to the kinds of girls he was attracted to? Ones with no paths, just pasts? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

My translation of Jon's statement above: I was 22 and Kate was a cute sexy older woman who knew what she wanted. I was so thrilled that someone so mature and sexy wanted me, that I married her. I wasn't ready to settle down. Kate did everything in her power to force me to grow up, but I refused. Now I am going to go back to the wonderful party girls I used to date. Through them I can regain my youthful freedom from responsibility.

IMHO when he says he was beaten down and abused....he's read what people on the newsgroups have said about the way she treated him and he's playing the sympathy card to the hilt. That may have worked a few months ago before he started trying to regain his youth. BUT now I'm not buyin anything he's selling now. It's like I tell the girls at work...you can justify anything if you try hard enough.

Jon sickens me. I can't believe he actually said he was abused and beaten down. I also didn't think I could dislike him more. I didn't think I could lose any more respect for him. But I have. I have more sympathy than ever for Kate and especially more sympathy for the kids.

There are two sides to every story and I seem to recall all of the Kate bashing that was done for the horrible way that Kate was treating Jon, and that was for what we saw on tv. If she treated him that bad in front of the camera's what was it like when the cameras were off. No one and I mean no one knows exactly what goes on behind closed doors. My first husband was verbally abusive of me and I actually put up with it. He had me thinking that I was worth nothing and I was in my early 20's. I had absolutly no self esteem and when he walked out on me people wondered what I had done to run him off as he was nice in public. So if people are telling Jon that he should stand up for himself good for him. He had his family there this weekend. Gee, how come they never came when Kate was there. He is in touch with his family, how come Kate doesn't have any of her family around. Makes me wonder. Are some of the choices he is making right. Heck no, but I do feel sorry for him. Alot of Kate's choices aren't so good either, including subjecting her children to the public. She could have and should have called a stop to the show. She could have also moved back into her old house with the kids and she wouldn't have had such big bills for her new house. Money is driving her and blinding her to what she should be doing for her kids. Ok now that I have gotten that off of my chest, I will slink off as I know that my feelings are very unpopular.

Very good points Countrydaze ! I have my issues with both J & K and wish the show were gone;even as much as I like seeing the little kids, especially since they are now able to comunicate their opinions and thoughts. It is very odd to me that Kate does not have her family in her life.

neither one of them is blameless, but how does it benefit their children to go on national television and talking badly about their mom? jon has said that his mom has always been active in the kids' lives; she just didn't want to be on tv. so i don't think her visiting is anything new.

Countrydaze, there are definitely people here who feel the same as you do. I for one suspect that Kate was even more rude and hostile to Jon when the cameras weren't rolling. I think a person can only take so much and Jon saw an opportunity for a different life and a way to break free. I'm not saying he's not being selfish now, but I don't think that his staying in an unhappy marriage for 12 more years while the kids get through school is the best option either. I'll be interested to see his interview tonight.

Jon Gosselin says he despises estranged wife Kate AP – 20 mins ago NEW YORK – Jon Gosselin (GAHS'-lihn) says he despises his estranged wife Kate, and believes she took his wedding ring. The reality TV star told ABC News' Chris Cuomo on "Good Morning America" that he set down his ring one day and it vanished. He says no one else could have taken it. He also accuses Kate of verbally abusing him and beating him down during their marriage. Jon's remarks came from his first TV interview since divorce papers were filed in June. Kate has made a number of her own interview appearances in recent weeks. The Gosselins continue to co-star on TLC's hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which documents the challenges of raising their twins and sextuplets. A longer version of Jon's interview airs tonight on ABC's "Primetime: Family Secrets." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090908/ap_en_tv/us_people_jon_gosselin as more and more comes out about this interview it sounds very petty and vindictive.

Omg, does this guy wear granny panties or what? For heaven's sake, there are 8 children and 2 dogs who could have "taken" his ring. Or maybe he lost it? Or maybe...he sold it himself.

I totally can see Jon's side. He is sick his wife is perpetuating the myth that the divorce is Jon's doing. My gosh, the woman refused to go to counseling with him and made him go alone as if he is the only one who has problems to work on.

The TMZ video makes no sense. I'd like to see an unedited clip. It sounds like he doesn't want to sit on the couch and be interviewed with her because he feels she's saying one thing behind closed doors and another 'on the couch' and he's disgusted with the duplicity?? I think it's a given they should not be filmed together. He sounds just as bitter about everything as she does.

He went to couples(marriage) counseling without Kate. She wouldn't go. That's what he said, that's what he has always said.
