Broken wrist

Saturday my mom broke her wrist in two places. They are operating on her on Thursday. Poor old girl. The doctor didn’t even give her any good drugs—just Tylenol with codeine.

They probably don't want to give her drugs that could make her dizzy and fall again. Sorry to hear about the wrist, but glad it wasn't her hip. My mother-in-law has had about 10 falls, blackening her eyes and cutting open her head. Once, she fell in the driveway and then my father-in-law fell trying to help her up and they both had to lie there until the mailman came by.

I worry about this sort of thing a lot with my mom--who gets up on the ladder to clean her gutters--even though we've offered to pay to have someone else clean them grrrrr
