Today was definitely the scariest day of my life. So, I'm watching my neighbor's dogs and my mom is with me. We always watch dogs so it's no big deal. Well, I take the Lab puppy for a walk and she poops in someone's driveway, so I go back to the house with her to get a bag and have my mom come out with me so she can hold the puppy while I clean it up. The puppy was sitting nicely right by my mom when my mom told her it was okay to start walking. Well, since I was ahead the dog started running to catch up-pulling my mom with her. My mom kept trying to pull her back to stop her, but she couldn't and she couldn't run with the shoes she was wearing and the position she was in. I heard my mom yelling "Murphy! Murphy! Slow down!"I turned around and saw my mom being pulled by the dog and then the dog flying towards me and my mom flying in the air and landing flat faced first on the concrete. I yanked the dog down and went running to my mom-holding on to the puppy. By the time I got to my mom she had rolled over, holding her head and looking at her wrist. She had two small cuts on her head, but before she ever got off the ground above her right eye and including her eye started bruising. Her right knee has two cuts on, her entire right arm is full of scrapes along with a bruise on her forearm, her pinky is terribly cut...while she was on the ground I could see the bone....her right hand is cut up, her left hand has a small cut and is all bruised, and she has a cut on her chin that is bruised. She saw our dentist and one of her teeth is chipped, but not visibly chipped. She also saw our family doctor and he said that she'll be okay, and she doesn't need stitches in her pinky as long as she keeps it closed with butterfly bandages and to not get it wet. He told her she needs to get her head x-rayed Tuesday because there's a depression above her right eye that needs to be looked at but that it could wait a little while. I was so scared when she was laying on the ground. I wasn't sure what to do other than try to stay calm, not move her, and make sure she wasn't unconscious(which, thank God she never was). I feel so bad. It sucks so much seeing my mom like this. I have to help her like she helped me after I had my surgeries. It's just so hard. Every time I look at her I just want to cry because I see her flying in the air and landing face first on the ground. My life has definitely changed. I just wish I didn't have to have something like this happen in my life to make me realize how much I love everyone that is a part of my life. Things are going to be different for awhile around my house....
