This post is all about my mom, who will be turning 88 years old tomorrow… July 8th.
The old bird (term of endearment) fell one week ago. THANKFULLY, she did not break her hip, but boy did she come close and “just” bruised and angered her entire left side.
It was 3am and she slipped wearing socks as she was using her walker… and boy, down she went. I called 911 and an ambulance took her to Buffalo General Hospital.hard
Her vitals were good as was her bloodwork. No problem with her head, as it hit the floor as well. You cannot crack that hard Italian head … thankfully! And she’s tried with multiple tumbles.
The BEST news was her hip was not broken! She angered it and there is inflammation, etc… but it is NOT broken!
From the hospital… she’s gone to a rehab facility… and thankfully dogs are allowed, so Piggie is visiting every day! It brightens both of their spirits, which I love.
Tonight, I told Grammaline she needs to do ALL the things to get stronger so she can come home. I will be the helicopter daughter and I told her, Piggie and I will be sleeping with her in the bed… there will be no more stumbling on my watch.
Meanwhile, my brother, Justin, is here and will be Grammaline-proofing her condo before the old bird comes home. I swear I am going to get a giant papoose and carry her everywhere!
CALGON TAKE ME AWAY and GIVE ME STRENGTH!
Viva la Grammaline and Viva la Pig!
