My 95 year old mother who still lives by herself, drives, and teaches a Wednesday night bible class was out in the yard without her walker showing the tree guy which trees she wanted trimmed, and which ones to cut down when she tripped. Stitches inside and outside her mouth where her top plate broke and stabbed through her upper lip. Broken occipital and some other bone that I can't pronounce in her face and bruised ribs. My daughter, her granddaughter, the ER doctor, was not on duty, but she rushed up there to sew her up and take care of her. No broke bones anywhere else, but her ribs are as bruised as her face. After spending the night in the hospital, on the way home, I mentioned it might be time for someone to come stay with her at least a couple of days a week until she got better. She made it clear that she didn't need anybody, and implied she might kick my ass if I mentioned it again. Over her objections, I stayed last night and most of today with her. She was up at 7:am and cooked my breakfast, and other than the bruises, you would think nothing had happened. I'm no where near that tough. She also made it very clear that I wouldn't be taking any more pictures until she fixed her hair.
