News I didn't want to hear.
I got a call from my frail elderly mother this morning. She fell downstairs during the night. She somehow crawled to the telephone, then waited till daytime to call me. I went over and called an ambulance for her. She has broken her back. The fracture is a stable one but she will be hospitalised until the Physios can get her up and walking again.
I will have to move back in with her for several weeks after she is discharged.
I really dreaded getting a call like this - I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. I suppose it could have been much worse but this is bad enough.
I will still have to be able to go to work though or I won't get paid. Don't know how I'm going to manage it yet.
I wish she would move in with me then I could keep better watch over her safebeing. Maybe she will after this. I will have to get this house fully decorated and prepared during these few days she is in hospital, and then just hope she will decide to make the move.
