My very scary Wednesday!

It started as I got out of bed at about 7:10 a.m., I heard a crash from the kitchen, and a loud scream. Immediatley rushed to the source and found my mother who had fallen and hurt herself very badly. Spilled coffee, tears streaming, and a very worried daughter, I quickly put on some clothes and a jacket and got her in the car and off we went to the E.R. Pulled up to the door, went to get a wheelchair for her, signed her in, then parked the car, and ran back in to sign some papers. Thankfully, they were slow at the moment and it took hardly any time before she was in a room. They did X-rays on her arm and foot and then we waited for the doctor to come and tell the news! A nice and older gentleman doctor that looked to me like someone who would should be out in the woods in a cabin with a red plaid shirt, jeans, and boots on, came in and told us some very good news. Her foot was only sprained, arm was indeed broken at the elbow or as they called it the "radial head" something like that, but she didn't need any surgery at all and that it should heal in the next few weeks! After spending about two hours there we were finally discharged and off to our local drugstore to get some medicine for the pain and to rent a wheelchair because crutches wouldn't work with her arm. As we went home I was so relieved to know that everything was okay and that I never panicked for a moment. The Lord blessed me and I felt Him with me as we went to the E.R. and on the drive home. Thursday we went to see an orthopaedic doctor to make sure that the splint on her arm was okay and at this point her foot had recovered a good bit and was able to hobble around. It's finally Friday and I'm so happy to see that she is feeling much better! Well, until next time....
