Just need to take my mind off things while I wait.

Sorry to hear about your Mum and how you must feel right now.

Is the hospital nearby?

Memberofstaff · 29/09/2023 06:52

Thank you again everyone for your kind thoughts. @OldTinHat I did a similar thing in our hospital, couldn't believe I could get from one place to another in a matter of seconds, I'd walked miles! Wonder if it's the same one?

Thinking of you both. Hope your poor Mum is okay - what a shock for you all.

Sending get well wishes and love ❤️

Hope your mum is doing ok OP 💐

I’ve been up since 6am, youngest is an early riser. Nice coffee in peace whilst she is watching tv before the school madness starts 😃 x

Hope your mum is ok. En route to take dgs to school for their mum. Nearly did a silly thing myself yesterday, hopped on the bed to check the ceiling and nearly fell off as was so bouncy. Suddenly felt very old.

Been awake an hour, for some reason my body has decided sleep is only required for 4-5 hours each night. Hope your mum isn't too badly hurt

Nanaof1 · 29/09/2023 07:19

I hope your Mum is doing better and it wasn't too serious. I am almost 70 and not looking forward to more falls. I remember too well how it was with my Mom. sigh

{{HUGS}} to your Mum and you!

Dymaxion · 29/09/2023 07:24

She must be a tough old bird to have taken that sort of fall and still be here ! Previous job as a stunt double ? Spy ? Trapeeze artist ?

Seriously though, hope she is ok and on the mend very soon Flowers

AdaColeman · 29/09/2023 07:31

Oh your poor Mum, I hope she makes a good recovery! Thanks

Living alone, I have a real fear of falling down stairs.

My MIL fell off her bedside table and hurt her back.

She was putting her curtains up! Never mind that she has 2 sons and DILs to ask, or proper steps to use. My granny was the same. They get to their 80s and still think they can do stuff they did in their 30s.

Sending healing hugs to your mum x

You'll also get to your 80s and do daft stuff, thinking you're still in your 30s! 😂 Then your kids will be on here, whilst in A&E saying she's in her 80s but...

HashtagDerekSays · 29/09/2023 07:45

Really hope your mum's ok OP, that sounds awful.

My dh was in A&E last night too. Broken ankle. He was trying to get a spider out of our sons room, it was on the ceiling and he fell off the bed 🙈

newnamechangeforthisone · 29/09/2023 07:53

Hope your mum is ok OP.

DyslexicPoster · 29/09/2023 07:59

Hope she is OK. Fil fell down four stros and broke several vertebrae and lots of ribs. Very scary

Xrays · 29/09/2023 08:02

Hope your Mum is okay ❤️💐

Memberofstaff · 29/09/2023 09:39

So sorry for all of you who've had accidents. Mum has broken vertebrae, ribs, hip and wrists. Still remarkably chirpy at the moment though. Thank you all for being there

determinedtomakethiswork · 29/09/2023 09:49

Oh your poor mum! Any one of those things would've been enough. Did your dad hear her? It must've given him a terrible fright as well. Did they phone you in the middle of the night?

Dizzydeers · 29/09/2023 09:51

Your poor mum, wishing her the best.

Memberofstaff · 29/09/2023 10:17

@determinedtomakethiswork yes the noise woke my dad up and he was terrified. He phoned the ambulance who said it would be several hours before they arrived. He then phoned me and I went straight there (half an hour away) by which time a paramedic had arrived, followed by an ambulance about an hour later. They were all marvellous, as always.

Blimey. That's awful. I'm so sorry

Limetreee · 29/09/2023 10:44

Oh blimey your poor mum.Hope she gets her hip fixed quickly for the best recovery. Much love to you all.

DivingForLove · 29/09/2023 10:46

@Memberofstaff your poor mum 😢. Hope they’re managing the pain for her and her good mood stays. What a shock and trauma for all of you x

AdaColeman · 29/09/2023 14:57

How awful for your poor Mum, what a horrible shock for her. I hope they get a good treatment plan in place for her, so she can start to recover as soon as possible.
Kindest thoughts to you all.

ElizabethanAgain · 29/09/2023 15:08

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum's injuries. I hope she's got plenty of pain relief. How is your Dad coping?
