You know head wounds, blood everywhere.

She was in a panic. I was trying to stop the bleeding . Needed to calm her down. Ice. Could see she'd need stitches/staples. More ice.
Called my sister who was just 5 miles away. We took her to the ER for wound care and for neuro. assessment.

4 staples. Wound 1.5 inches long.. Neuro exam fine.
If you recall, she'd torn both rotator cuffs a few days ago.

(She wasn't dizzy/light-headed. She'd tripped. She is older; however, she is very young for her age. People think she is 10-15 years younger than her age. Some have suggested a nursing home. She is simply not nursing home material.)

I have been checking on her, intermittently, through the night.
I am grateful her injuries are limited to a laceration and some bruising.

I am so very tired!. I might get a chance to sleep soon and/or sometime today.

Would someone please take a look.... is there a black cloud over my head?
Oh, how life likes to present challenges!
Keep smiling!

Much Love to All!
It's the strangest thing... I see a huge storm following you, but the sunshine is there. I can see how it might feel like hurricane season from where you're standing. Don't worry though my friend. The sun is right there above you and ready to bust through those clouds at any moment. Do you want to borrow my galoshes so you can splash around in the mud for a laugh while the rain comes down?

Sorry to hear about your Mom's fall. I know that must have been scary. Sending healing and restful vibes to you both!
Hugs from:
bizi, Wild Coyote
Thanks for this!
