So I got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Was tired and fell asleep in my chair.
About 5:30, a big crash woke me up. Wife had.fallen by the front door. She tried to scoot on her butt to the kitchen where she could pull herself up. She'd also bumped her head when she fell and we decided to call 911.
Within minutes the house was full of firemen and EMTs. Even our cat was concerned and got on his table in the kitchen to make sure everyone took care of Mom. One of the fireman gave him pets to reassure kitty.
Two firemen picked her up and with someone on each side of her she was able to walk to the front of the house out the door and down the front steps where there was a stretcher. She was able to get on that on her own and they strapped her down and loaded her in the ambulance.
Meanwhile two neighbors came over and checked on me. They insisted I eat something before I go to the hospital. One ran home and was back with some pasta with green stuff on it. It was good.
I shoved some down my face then got dressed to go to the hospital. Just blocks away the phone rang. Broke my rule about answering the phone in the car and it was the wife. She was ready to go. Had her in the car a few minutes later and home we went.
Still had enough pasta to feed her too. And we got through the night with no more excitement.
So we start a new year. Just see if we can make it better.
