Mmm…pelvis? Now hip.

Mmm...pelvis!

UPDATE: Turns out Mer broke her hip, needs to have surgery TODAY so I’m leaving in an hr to go into the hospital with mom to go sign the papers so she can have it done.

UPDATE 2: Just got home from an 8 hour stay at the hospital, her surgery went well and she’ll be doped up until tomorrow.

Well count on the blogging to slow (as if it hasn’t already) for a few days until at least the weekend. Why? Because last night was eventful, here’s a rundown:

  • 10:00PM Bob leaves for work, mom and I go to bed.
  • 11:30PM Phone rings, it’s The Waters, Mer fell and was on the floor in her room.
  • 1:00AM Phone rings AGAIN, The Waters - she was being sent to Mercy Hospital for Xrays.
  • 6:00AM Phone AGAIN, The Waters, she had been admitted and will be in there a few days.
  • 7:00AM I can’t sleep, so I get up!

Why is this story title “Mmm…pelvis?”, well because Mer fractured her right side of her pelvis, so they have to keep her down and off her feet, and if you know Mer you know she doesn’t like to sit in the least bit so this is going to be interesting, so I have to go see her later today and deal with phone calls from Mercy Hospital while Bob is sleeping today because they don’t know enough to call my mom at work…

    Hope she recovers soon. I doubt there’s anyone among us who wouldn’t like being able to walk. It is the basic level of transporting ourselves anyway.

    Thanks, they said she should be able to go back to the nursing home Friday or Saturday and then start therapy for her hip.

    We’re going to see her tomorrow when she’s actually lucid and can talk to us.
