So, I am not going to count my thankful s.
A couple days after Thanksgiving, Mom fell. She said she was all right, sore but seemed to be ok. I am thankful that the EMTs got her back on her feet.
At the start of this week, she fell again. I am thankful yet again for EMT folk, who then took her to the hospital.
She ended up re-breaking her hip. I am thankful though, she didn't also re-break her wrist, or other bones.
I am thankful it was past garden season. I don't mean that selfishly, I'm glad I have a store of pre-made soups and such, thaw, stick in the microwave, and eat. Helping me, and family.
I'm thankful hospitals have wheelchairs at the front, Dad has a hard time walking long distances. I can buzz him around, surprisingly easily.
I am thankful we have a good car, because Mom is about an hour drive away, and visits would be a problem.
I am thankful for the nurses, cleaning folks and staff keeping Mom clean and comfortable.
I'm happy for the doctors working on her right now, and some more that will be doing work on her later.
Okay, I could probably do more, but my frain is bried, and I am tired.
Enjoy your loved ones, be thankful, and please don't fall!
