Update on Mom || 02.10.04
(Second entry of the day)

Come to find out Mom didn't just break her arm. She snapped both the radius and the ulna. *wince*

When she fell, her head hit the porch and she has a goose-egg. She said it dazed her; she hit that hard.

Her whole right side from the waist down is sore and knowing the way she bruises she'll literally be black and blue tomorrow.

She said it scared her because as it was happening she was staring at those stairs, terrified she was going to end up sliding down them anyway, even though she was falling backwards at the time. She did have the presence of mind to let go of the dog's leash and not try to use him for balance, which is smart because he's an 80 lb birddog and would have drug her down the stairs.

She's in a pretty chipper mood - but then again she's still flying high on pain meds. They gave her an IV full of pain meds so they could pull on her wrist to set the bones and attach weights to keep it in place while they were casting it.

She's also been taking two Vicodin every four hours like clockwork since she got home. Those will help with muscle pulls she ended up with when she was trying to stop herself from falling.

Dad, on the other hand, has been busily coming up with a way to prevent this from happening again.

It was a freak thing. It isn't like it has been snowing or sleeting here. It was just some frost from early this morning that ended up in a bad place on the porch. I honestly don't think anything could have been done to prevent it.

He seems to think otherwise. I know he's blaming himself. Needlessly of course, but that's just the way he is.

I swear I won't be surprised if there's astro turf or something equally as strange covering the stairs and porch when I go over there tomorrow.

Thank you to all for the well wishes. Mom thought it was so nice of ya'll. :)

In other news I got the exit interview questions from Kinetix today and have been trying to get them done in between taking care of Gomez & Kimo and checking in on Mom. I'll try to get them done later tonight and will let ya'll know when they are posted in case anyone wants to read 'em. Don't expect any bombshells. I'm glad the game is over and ready to move on to other things. :)

Until next time~
