My grandmother fell

[ridethelightning]

In her driveway. Poor thing cannot catch a break. Also, my 7 year old cousin was with her and told me when I called. The hospital is right by my office, but an hour away from her, so I am at the emergency room waiting on the ambulance.

Oh no, hope she's okay! Poor grams!

Oh no! I hope she's okay RTL

[alabasterangel]

How scary! When I was little I was always worried that kind of thing would happen when I was alone with my great gma.

[ridethelightning]

I know. I felt so sorry for her. Luckily my mom is right down the road, but she didn't know her number and I called about a minute after it happened.

I hope she's okay!

Hope she's not hurt, that sucks.

Oh your poor grandma! I hope it's nothing serious and she's ok.

My mom is back there with her now. Her right hip is hurting and she can't use her right leg.

Oh and guess what else? One of her other grandchildren is on the way. Maybe this will guilt them into caring?

Perfect. I was worried that nobody would try to start family drama during a hospital visit.

They haven't done an x ray, but they're pretty sure her hip is broken. Which means back to the nursing home. Hopefully they'll just let her stay this time. She likes it there and does better there.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

Why wouldn't they let her stay before?

I'm so sorry this happened, I know how you feel!

[ridethelightning]

They have a waiting list for a permanent room, that they only bypass if you are severe enough and no one on the list is ready for the room at the moment. Otherwise you only get a rehab room for 100 days.

Poor thing! I hope she gets to stay where she's the happiest.

Oh no! I hope shes ok!
