Hi folks. I guess you didn’t expect me to be home on Friday at this time of day but here I am.
Mom fell again yesterday but wouldn’t let me take her to the doctor. I came home from work and found her on the floor. This morning, I insisted that she go because I was afraid that she may have fractured her hip or knee caps.
It’s been a long day sitting at the doctors office but it had a sort of good outcome. Nothing is broken but she may have some major strains and she bruised her knees.
They gave her some pain meds and sent us on our way. She is taking a nap right now.
Thank goodness it is Friday so I can stay home and be with her this weekend. I’m just hoping she will be well enough by Monday so I can go to work.
I feel very unsure about the NY trip right now. I would love to go but I don’t know if I should. It’s only four days but what a difference just ONE day can make.
I was awake most of last night so right now I am so tired I don’t know what to think.
BTW, the doctor said I did the right thing by waiting to take her to his office instead of the emergecy room. He said we would have sat at least eight hours (!) before she would have been seen. He said that if she had broken her hip, I would have known it and she would not have said she didn't want to go to the doctor/hospital.
As it worked out, by waiting, she was comfortable at home and since his office has an X-ray machine, she was taken care of much sooner instead of sitting in the hospital emergency waiting room.
Forgive me if I’ve missed any major events. This week has been so mixed up. If you only miss one days posting it’s like your out of sync and it feels like I’ve been that way since last Saturday! I just can’t seem to keep up with everything.
Sorry for the rant.
