At least no bones were broken. So the family is thankful for that, but OMG, I am so mad, and no one really I can get mad at. I can’t watch her every second of the day. We try to take turns and someone be with her in the daytime and even some nights, but there is no way we can do a 24/7…
We even got her a special life alert button, but she got a hair up her ‘you know what’ and canceled the service. She did get a different service, though, but they use only a wrist bracelet button for alert and the ‘bracelet’ is made of velcro and it digs into her skin and bothers her no matter how loose I make it. So she simply doesn’t wear it. She wraps it around her walker. When she fell, her leg pushed the walker about three feet away and she couldn’t crawl to reach it. ::sigh::
Needless to say I am under a bit of stress, worrying over mum. The only solution and potential answer to our dilemma is one we do not want to face. I cannot stand the idea of her going into a nursing home, and she has said we are all cursed if we put her in one. Now, I don’t think she’d really curse her offspring whom she loves, but then again, she is a cranky old witch. :P
In the meanwhile, the plans to go to Florida have been delayed for a couple of weeks until we see how mum is and if she’s going to be okay. Whew.
Last night I sat here and simply couldn’t write, so I decided to go into SL and check out a landmark someone sent me and I ran into a mer friend of mine, Peaches. So I poured out my story of woe and we shopped for virtual fantasy clothing. lol. Yes, I know. Shopping is good for the soul. In RL it’s more costly, so SL is perfect shopping therapy. lol. The store is called Evie’s Closet and they specialize in medieval/fantasy outfits. The black number I am wearing in the pic is an example of the styles there. It’s something I bought last night and threw on then and there. :)
I don’t think I asked Peaches where she got those purple boots, but I bet it was at Bootgasm. lol. Yep, virtual dolly clothing shopping is damn good therapy since I can escape the worry for a little while.
Of course, I am heading up to the hospital in a few, so I may have to drop in and shop again tonight. Either that or eat a bag of chocolate and blow my diet. :)
Until next time…
