asking for some happy thoughts....

Yesterday my mom fell at work when she slipped on some water at the base of the stairs as she was walking down them. Her one leg slipped forward and her other knee went smack onto the corner of the concrete steps. She broke her kneecap directly in half (which actually is a pretty impressive Xray). The lower half is in many small pieces. They sent her immediately to the hospital and eventually she was released after they stabilized it and put in her orders to see a orthopedic surgeon (through workman's comp). On her way out of the hospital she passed out. So they readmitted her. Turns out she is okay though (at least the passing out issue).

Anyway, so she went from there to workman's comp where luckily the orthopedic surgeon was unexpectedly in the office. He saw her immediately. She will need surgery, which she will likely have on Friday. This will be a LONG recovery period, in which time she'll have to undergo frequent physical therapy.

So please think happy thoughts for my mom, especially for her surgery on Friday.

Love you mom! XOXOXOXOXO
