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!
Ooo tough luck. Yeah head wounds are bloody. Glad you stayed calm and was able to deal. What about independent living apartments for mum? Depending on the state you live in they can be an option.
