ER visit Nov 2010

Fun times in the local ER. side note, McDreamy and McSteamy were not there, c'est dommage!

I got one of 'those' phone calls yesterday!

No, not a telemarketer or get out and vote call, but a call from Dad. "we have an emergency here..."

Oi vei. Apparently, Mom reacted and short circuited regarding the new home health aid we have. She was verbally abusive to the aid, throwing things and chasing her. At some point, Mom must have stumbled and fell against the double pane sliding glass door. The photos do the talking, but amazingly, she had just a few small cuts or abrasions on the back of her head.

No concussion, no stitches needed. What can I say, I guess we are a family of hard heads!

I talked to her on phone before Dad took her to the ER, and she actually sounded more lucid than has been the norm.

Who takes photos and videos of their Mom in the ER? Me, one of the few, the proud, the alzheimer paparazzi! I know, not funny, but I might as well chronicle these events and the progression of the disease.
