I rushed to the hospital yesterday and was there for almost five hours, but this time...
it was not for me.

This time it was Laurie’s turn. In the morning, we were both still groggy. She got up to get something from the kitchen, got all tangled up in her laptop’s computer cord and down she went.

I watched it like it was in slow motion.

She landed straight on her chin. I knew it was going to be a bad one. I knew it was going to be hospital time. I helped her turn over and I got a paper towel real quick to stop the blood. But there was no way I could get her up and help her to the car.

Besides that, something clicked in my brain that any time there was a chance of a head injury you should call 911. So I punched in the numbers and the guys were here within 7 minutes. It pays to live close to the fire department.

3. Good thinking on your part!
Those paramedics know what they're doing...

And I'm relieved that she's OK...

Never a dull moment, huh?

7. glad she seems to be ok
keep a close eye on her for the next few days just in case - you never know will falls. I'm an expert on them myself.

Sounds like you've been having a very difficult time lately. Hang-in there. :hug:

8. Thanks.
She hasn't driven since Friday so that is a good thing.

She is determined to go to work tomorrow. She doesn't want to take the day off so she can save that day to head off to DC for the Cobert/Stewart event.
