Another Trip

… to the hospital yesterday. Stan’s mom fell and broke her hip yesterday afternoon. In two places. Luckily, they said all she needed was a rod and a couple pins to hold the bones together while they heal, and they were able to do the surgery last night. We were at the hospital until about 12:30 this morning, making sure she was settled in and doing alright. The surgeon said the surgery went very well. Now we just have to pray she doesn’t get a blood clot or an infection, both of which the doctor said could be fatal. *heavy sigh* I feel like I ought to work at this hospital, I’ve been there so much the past 15 months. I finally understand what everyone means when they talk about that hospital smell.

My leg had  been feeling so much better yesterday that I decided to wear my wedge heels to work. Nothing too crazy tall or anything, but my ankle felt good, and my leg was doing fine in them. Until I had to leave. I went straight to the hospital from work, and I think I was walking too much and too quickly, so my leg and foot swelled up again. It’s a little better this morning, but everything is still very puffy. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just swollen. My shin is still just the tiniest bit sore, but I’m pretty sure I bruised the bone pretty badly, so I’m expecting it to be tender a few more days.

Well, I’ve got to go. Stan and I are going to his mom’s to get some magazines for her and feed the cat, as well as take down her Christmas tree, and then we’re heading to the hospital. I’ll keep everyone posted as much as I can.
