Today my grandmother fell. She was walking from her kitchen to her living room, caught her toe on a stool and fell. She scraped her left arm pretty badly and landed on her left hip. Luckily she had one of the medical pendants you wear and just have to push a button to get help. The service dispatched an ambulance for her. She was in a lot of pain and very teary when they arrived.
After getting to hospital her arm was bandaged and the X-ray of her hip showed a fracture. She was admitted to the surgical unit and will be having surgery tomorrow morning. Tonight she will be spending the night in the step down unit on surgical.
I would appreciate tremendously any positive thoughts and prayers that could be sent her way. This is a tough time for her. It was 8 years ago today my grandfather was admitted and he never made it home, passing away early in the new year. While she will be home in 5-7 days we all know this is on her mind. To be honest, at 89 years old, I think it is a worry we all have.
I hope to update this soon however it will depend on how the next few days play out. We all just have to have a little faith.
Thanks to you all for the kind thoughts and prayers, albeit in advance.
