Oh man, one of my fears just materialized. My mom fell down her basement stairs; ankle snapped; compound fracture. At this point, they can't figure out how to get her back up the stairs; they're very steep.

They strapped her in a chair to pull her up.
She was in a lot of pain. I don't think that I've ever seen my mom cry from physical pain before tonight. The ankle was gross to look at. They set it after I got there, but then had to set it again. Surgery tomorrow.
She never wants to worry me. Often it's months before I find out something. She'll make the other kids promise not to tell me. I just happen to call just after she fell. She was going in the basement to get clothes to stay with me for my procedure.
Thank you all for your prayers. She didn't hit her head and that was a miracle with brick walls and concrete floors.

Oh man, it was hard to look at it. She got 4 screws on one side and 5 on the other. She is a tough one. She said that it felt like it was on fire.
I was there when the emergency room doctor examined her. When he pulled the blanket back, his eye widened really big. He looked at Mom and asked if she were in pain.
She was hurting all over today. She's going into a nursing home for a few weeks for rehab, and then is supposed to stay with me. I hope she does. That woman has some big bones or she would have shattered. I always knew that her head was thick. LOL
Thanks for your prayers!

I was on the site when I talked with my brother shortly after her tumble. I beat them to the hospital. She is in a nursing home for rehab for a few weeks and them she'll come stay with me. It's going to be tough on her, she is on the go until her eyes close at night. |
