My mom's last siblings passed away, so my little sister and I brought her out to Seattle for her service. Saturday morning, while waiting to meet up with my cousins, we took mom for a walk. She is a tiny little thing, 4'9" & 90 lbs, but very spritely and totally with it.
We saw a Trader Joes, and mom wanted to go in. My sister was holding her arm as she stepped up on the curb, and then she let go of her. What we didn't see was the was a raised edge where the curb met the sidewalk. Mom stumbled on that and landed face first on the sidewalk. She has a little cut on her eyebrow that quickly turned into a HUGE goose egg. With the cut being on her eyebrow it was bleeding profusely. The security guards rushed over and offered to call an ambulance at which point my mother yelled at them. Lol. One of them went into TJ and the manager came out with a first aid kit. We got her cleaned up and TJ manager called an Uber for us to go to the emergency room. By the that time the mother's petite Danish nose looked like a Roman gladiators nose. 😁
Everything checked out fine after xrays and a CTscan, and we were on our way.
She never even shed a tear. She is such a trooper.
When she woke up yesterday, the goose egg was gone and she has a glorious shiner! It's in the shape of a diamond, not unlike Harley Quinn. Thankfully she doesn't hurt, because we can't stop giggling.
Update: She didn't want us to tell our dad about the fall, because she thought it would be all cleared up by the time she went home today. Yeah, right. In the meantime we had already told him, and of course it wasn't all healed up today. The colour has gotten crazier with each passing day, and this morning she was sporting a green and purple diamond shape on her eye, along with a black smudge under the other eye and a thick black line with a thick purple line above it across her nose. When my sister got her back home tonight, my dad was acting like we hadn't told him about it. Of course he was acting very concerned, and asking her what happened. My mother told him that my sister pushed her down while I sat back and laughed. LOL! 😂 I do love that crazy mom of mine.
