Bad News and Good News

The bad news is that mom has had two falls in the last week. She is bruised and battered and has 9 staples in a scalp would. The good news is that nothing is broken. Besides the head wound, she mostly has skin tears on her leg. Those things are extremely painful but not life-threatening.

She is supposed to get the staples out tomorrow. Today a home health nurse is coming by to change her dressings. Good thing, as I about fainted when I wrapped them up yesterday. There is a reason I never went into the medical profession! Also, making your mom cry out in pain is not fun, I prefer leaving it to the professionals.
