Well, here we go again!
I realized I had not written anything in over a month...time to catch up!
Last Thursday (Nov.18, 2010), around 10pm, Mom was getting into her wheelchair and she fell. The wheels were not locked, and she had not called for help, and she had not locked the wheels, so as she was backing into the chair, it moved, she lost her balance, and she hit the floor.
Her glasses smashed into her eyebrow and cut it. It was not a heavy bleeder, nor a deep cut, which means to me that the hit was not very hard. But over the next several days, she developed a very pretty black eye as the blood settled around her eye.
As we were getting her up off the floor, she was feeling pain in her left side so we decided to get her to the hospital for x-rays etc. to be sure all was well.
After several hours in the hospital and a head cat scan and a chest x-ray, we were released to go home. No broken bones, or internal bleeding! Thank you Lord...We were told to be prepared for lots of aches and pains as her body healed from the fall, and they were right.
Mom has not had many bruise spots, but lots of aches that are slowly getting better. Her eye is almost back to normal...
She says she gets nervous when she has to stand, but she still refuses to ask for help... I know she wants to be independent, but is she just being hard headed? Or do things just not compute in her brain???
Oh well....
