Oi! Enough already...
Mom got a call a couple of days ago from the nursing home saying gramps fell. Nothing big, landed on his butt, he didn't want to wait for them to get out of bed, or to ask for help, or to use the walker. They were there right away, and got him up, he was fine, but annoyed. (He's always been a bit ornery, so this is nothing new!) Well, yesterday, the same thing happened again, but this time, he was still screaming, so mom rushed right over. Thought he hurt his leg, but couldn't feel anything out of whack, so they called for the mobile x-ray guys. After them not showing for a couple hrs., they put gramps in the transport van, and hauled him to the ER for x-rays... The long & short is, he's got a fractured hip! So, mom's distraught, and didn't get many details from them 'cause she was so overwhelmed, and they wanna do surgery this afternoon on him.
Oi! My poor mom just can't get a break! All this, on top of the rest of the craziness, plus she officially lost her job due to all of this, and they still haven't tracked down the evil aunt to serve her the papers for the order of protection yet. She's made at least 2 apperances at gramps' house, and my uncle (who lives there as well), has called the police on her 2x, and each time she mysteriously vanishes before they get there. Sneaky bugger! But, they'll get her eventually, we found out where she works, so they can get her there (if she's still working, we're kinda doubtful on that. Which'd explain the urgency to get her hands on so much cash, eh?) and her condo, and the assn, and her daughter's house, etc. Amazing how many people crawled out of the woodwork to help rid gramps of her!
Anyway, yeah, just one weekend with no emergencies would be great! Really!!
Oh, in other news, I found the skirt moves sheet, that cleared up most of my questions! And, doc. did give me meds for an ear infection. I don't think it's that bad, as it really isn't all that painful, but if it still has fluid behind the ear drum when I go back in 10 days, we start trying to figure out what's really going on. It feels as if it's draining slightly, so hopefully this will continue. Ear issues suck!!
Back to looking busy at work, and getting ready for a 3 day weekend!
