Thought I would let you know my Mum had a most terrible fall, spent a day at hospital & is now home but she is a mess, she slammed her face so hard she has 2 black eyes, a broken nose, a hole in her forehead so bad even the doctor got squeamish as she stitched her up, her glasses shattered,she hit so hard,also her teeth went through her bottom lip & she had a huge gash along the inside of her lip,they only put in 1 stitch to help it heal as it was too much pain to keep going but she was so brave.. She jarred her elbow & hands,resulting in bruises as she landed... her hip has been playing up & we think that was what gave way as she crossed the road, everyone was so lovely & helpful , an armoured truck blocked the road while she was attended to & another driver from the other way blocked the other traffic...
she bled so badly from the mouth,forehead & nose they thought she had hit an artery (thankfully not) Anyway she is now home in bed , going to be a real mess as the swelling continues, her eye will be closed for at least a couple of days(the one where the stitches are above it) & of course all the aches & pains will raise there ugly headover the next few days..Today we got news from the hospital that the cat scan has shown,not only a broken nose, but a broken elbow & possibly a broken wrist, she is having more x-rays now & will get results tomorrow, will keep you posted.
I apologise for not being here but will get back to normal once Mum settles down. hugs to all
