Mom fell today...

while on her regular Friday morning garage sale excursion. She is spending the night in the hospital and one sister is there now and another is on the way. She has had a cat scan of head and x-rays of shoulder and hip.

I spoke to her about 30 minutes ago and she seemed in good spirits. She thinks her hip is OK but now thinks the tailbone might be hurt. Said she wouldn't be surprised if shoulder or arm were broken. Sister reports mom's going to have nasty black eye.

I'm actually somewhat mad at her because she fell while hurrying to her car in flip-flops to get out of the rain so her hair wouldn't fall. She always carries a plastic grocery bag to put over her head during those unexpected showers. (I always had to open the recently run dishwashers so that she could avoid the steam in her hair.)

Those flip-flops are getting tossed...I don't care how many pairs or how much they cost.

We'll know all the results tomorrow when her doc makes his rounds in the morning.

Yes -- she needs some sensible shoes. Trade the flip flops for Rockport. Hope nothing is broken. Keep us posted.

Thanks. She's getting those shoes. She doesn't know it yet but she's not only getting shoes...

Floppy rain hat? Umbrella?
