So tired.

[liltigre]

Mom had to be run to the ER earlier this evening. She was visiting my brother and fell down his front steps- she broke her right hand, bruised her head all to hell, scraped up both hands, and has horrible knots and scrapes on both knees. ER doc gave her Percocet, so she's stoned and sleeping now, but god, she is going to be in so much pain tomorrow

X_X God, Jess, I'm sorry. Is there any way you can just-- pick up your aunt and go home for a few hours? It might do you some good to get in your own bed and try and relax for a while, since there's nothing you can really do for your mother right now.

I'm at home now. The problem with my aunt is, she lives 3.5 hours away from here- i had planned to drive up there Tuesday, stay overnight, and then drive her back down here on Wednesday. Now I'm just going to do the 7-hour round-trip in one go on Wednesday, maybe catch a nap. (Driving for longer than 5 hours at a stretch is really difficult for me, I get sleepy.)

I've been picking up the living room, since Mom's co-workers will most likely stop in tomorrow to check in on her. i need to go to bed myself. Probably will here soon. *snugs* It's just... gah, she looks awful and I have icepacks on her head and knees and I'm doing all I can, it's just hard. She's going to be feeling worse tomorrow. I'm worried she's going to develop whiplash, my brother said she hit so hard her head bounced off the concrete and into the flower bed when she fell.

Yeah, jeez, I can't do more than two without needing someone to take over for me. Is there any way your aunt can, idk, take a bus or something? But good, go to sleep. Things'll look a little better in the morning, and try not to worry. If something develops, it does, but worrying about it now won't help, you know? It'll just make you sicker.

try to get some sleep.. I am sorry this is all happening to you ;.; ((hugs))

[liltigre]

I got some sleep and I'm better, just worried. Fortunately some things are working out.

I hope your Mom has a speedy recovery, and you catch a break soon. Sleep well, Jess; it'll do you some good.

I slept :3 It helped. <3 Still have a lot to do and flail over, but it's better.

God, that is so, so horrible. I hope your mother gets better fast, and take care of yourself, too.

[liltigre]

She's up and trying to clean and do more than she should be, which is a good sign. As long as she feels well enough to walk and be bossy, she's going to be fine. ;)

I understand, seeing your mom hurting or sick is a terrible thing. :: hugs:: I've been there, I understand. Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's tough, from what you've told me, she'll be just fine. And she's got more awesome meds, right? :; hugs:: It'll be ok. I'm here if you need to rant, too.

[liltigre]

Oh yeah, she's tough. She'll be OK, it's just one of those things- I spazz over anything involving her, so. xD I do wish the doctor would take her seriously about the whole 'needs an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon' bit, but.

Hey, I totally understand, whenever I hear my mom has a cough I kind of flip out. :: snugs:: @_# Well, hopefully he will, she needs to bug him about it a lot.
