I am totally, totally freaking out!!

amber438 · 2004-08-08, 09:20 AM

My mother has been visiting since Thursday..
Last night we were going upstairs to eat dinner, I was behind her on the steps and all of a sudden she lost her balance and went over the steps. She must have landed on the dehumidifier..anyway, she cracked her head..we called the ambulance..
she's in the hospital now with 4 broken ribs, a broken shoulder bone and 9 staples in the back of her head..gash was like a v (the end of the humidifier bucket exactly..)
She has osteoperosis, therefore the broken bones..
We have no bannister on the steps at the moment, there are only 6 of them..she fell on the 3rd one..
I feel so fucking responsible it's not funny..She was lying on the floor, eyes wide open but unresponsive, blood pouring from her head and I thought she was dead..She came around in a few minutes but was totally disoriented, didnt know she was here, etc..took a few hours till she remembered everything except the fall..
So now she will be staying with me for about 2 weeks, or till the doc says she can go home to Florida. She'll probably be in the hospital till maybe later today or tomorrow, depends on what the surgeon has to say (he is the one who makes her decisions because the were afraid of internal injuries cause ofthe ribs and he ordered a cat scan of her chest and head last night..all came out ok)...
You need to make every moment with loved ones special because you never know what the next moment in life will bring..

It is not your fault Amber, shit happens. It was a good thing that you were around to call for help.

Glad that she is on the path to recovery.

Surfn · 2004-08-08, 09:23 AM

I'm glad she's alright

MrMaryLou · 2004-08-08, 10:10 AM

Sorry to hear about your moms fall I am glad shes going to be ok

Ramster · 2004-08-08, 10:52 AM

Damn, that doesn't sound good. Glad she made it through with a few injuries only.

Useless · 2004-08-08, 11:34 AM

Damn, that is scary. I'd be freaking out too. But it is not your fault. Your mom isn't go to blame you for this. She may blame you for making her old, but not for this.
I hope she gets well soon.

SirMoby · 2004-08-08, 02:46 PM

I hope she feels better soon.

amber438 · 2004-08-09, 07:56 AM

I think she'll be getting out today..and be here with me for a few weeks till she gets stronger and able to fly back home to Florida..

freechess · 2004-08-09, 11:36 AM

well i hope she does get better but you can't blame yourself over it

docholly · 2004-08-09, 02:50 PM

OMG Sistah..i'm soo sorry.. the good part is, you were there and able to get her help immediately. It will also give you MORE time to spend with her which might be the whole reason behind it in the 1st place.

Q me or hoo me if you need anything, even an extra ear...

amber438 · 2004-08-11, 05:02 PM

Thanks guys..
Today she ate some and he breathing is a bit better. she has some water in her lungs and they are going to keep her till maybe friday.
I've already started to fight with her hmo about a visiting nurse, etc..so that will be a battle I can smell already..
docholly, my friend, glad to see ya back

digifan · 2004-08-12, 04:23 AM

Oh my, how could I miss this thread? Don't blame yourself, Amber and I wish your mom a speedy recovery.

amber438 · 2004-08-12, 11:03 AM

Thank you all..
well, she developed slight pneumonia in her left lung (the side that's broken) so they will keep her for a bit longer - maybe over the weekend..dunno for sure. Doc told me last night we will play it by ear.
it hurts to breath so she doesnt take big breaths and got water in that lung therefore the pneumonia.

Well off to the hospital..
Later all

ReyRey · 2004-08-14, 02:58 AM

I am sorry to hear that.

I wish your mom the very best Amber. Hope she has a speedy recovery.
