Another Bump

Mom took spill on Sunday morning on her way to the bathroom. She seemed okay cognitively, but because it was another blow to the head and because she is now on Lovenox, a blood thinner, for the clots in her leg, Suzy took her to ER. During the fall Mom's left hearing aid broke and she received some abrasion near her left temple, on her left hand and her left wrist. She received one stitch where she had a small cut on her head, just to be certain the wound heals well. Her CT scan came back negative for damage and internal bleeding.

All Mom could think about at the hospital is getting home to a spaghetti dinner. We ended up stopping at Mancino's on the way home and had a nice time eating pizza and cheesy cheese bread.

The fall was partly due to her weakness from the recent hospital stay, and partly due to her not asking for assistance to use the restroom. It's hard to ask for help for even the little things, but so very necessary for her.

Suzy told Mom she looks like she was in a prize fight. It does look like someone got her with a right hook. But she walked out of the ring and got her spaghetti dinner, just like she wanted.
