I see you are having another fun day Not!
Sending healing though s for your MUM. that is a nasty fall. Hope like heck she did not break her hip..
Not the hip. They are worried about her collar bone and spine.
.
My sister broke her collar bone back in the nineties. They gave her a sling for her arm to stabilized the shoulder, thats all besides pain killer. But the spine…. Hoping its not the spine! I have you all in my thoughts and prayers.
.
Me too. I think they are worried about the L3 which is why they want a brace, but they aren't saying much. I think it's temporary. I hope it's all temporary. They did talk about sending her for some rehab after the hospital.
Honestly, I'm worried that she may have to move in her and lose some of her independence, she's a little stubborn and well... I'm a lot stubborn about how my house runs. So she will have to adjust... like we don't eat in the bedroom (which is fine, if you live alone, but with others, you eat dinner together at a table.)
.
If that is the case, you will be the gracious and beloved son and provide her a wonderful space for her. If she insist in eating in her room, then a nice table and chairs so you and he-that-shall-not-be-named can enjoy meals together with her. I
know it is stressful having parents in your home and business. I would look into having a person come to help her in the morning so you can be the gracious host to the guests while she is being taken care of. Then you can come and we can sympathize with you. Besides us, I believe there are at least three others here taking care of parents.
My biggest hope is that the above advise will not be needed for a long time….
