Everyday Randomness

Nurse To Grandma

My dad just called me with some bad news. My Nana went to a play last night at a local church, and she fell on her way out. The steps at this particular church are very steep in the front, and she ended up mis-stepping which ended in a broken ankle. I haven’t seen her yet, but it’s pretty bad. She’s got to have surgery tomorrow so they can insert a plate. Daddy put her on the phone for a couple of minutes, but she’s so doped up she could barely talk to me. All she could really tell me was that her meds are making her sick, so even though she sounds like a 3 year old with the giggles, she’s throwing up every few minutes. I feel so bad for her. Times like this I’m glad that I work my own hours from my home. She’s going to need someone to help take care of her, and it looks like that someone will be me. I just get finished nursing hubby’s ankle, and now I’m off to take care of another one.
