Dad called me at 6:15 and said mom had fallen down the steps. She had the flu for a couple of days and hadn't eaten much and seemed to faint on the way to the bathroom (at the top of the steps).
Actually it was lucky she fainted because she did not brace herself, and it turns out she only broke her collarbone--she didn't break any other bones. She was admitted to the hospital for that and to make sure she gets hydrated since she had the flu. The problem is when she is sick (and this has been for a few years) she doesn't throw up, it's the other one, and when she eats that's what happens. So I'm hoping that stops and she is allowed to go home. She is 71. Dad also has trouble handling this stuff; he was pacing the ER like a caged animal.
I did go into work and leave lesson plans (I always mean to write them down but the further in the year we get, the more I keep them up in my head) and then went to the hospital. Tomorrow back to work. But far from a relaxing "day off" today! I also have to make arrangements for DS tomorrow, since my parents watch him in the morning and then put him on the bus.
