I got the call at my desk around 10:30 this morning. Mom fell this morning doing her morning routine turning off the alarm and getting ready for the home attendant to arrive. She must've fallen around 8:45. A cousin who has the key was able to come over and let the attendant in then call 911. Another cousin who works near me called me and gave me the news.
When I called the hospital at noon Mom was still in the emergency room. I spoke to my aunt who said my Mom was awake and alert and not in any real pain.
UPDATE
Mom was released from the hospital around 1. I spoke to her a few minutes ago and she sounded a little concerned but for the most part, OK. She has no idea how she fell which is very concerning. She gets light headed at times, particularly during the mornings. For now I don't know if she tripped on anything or if she just got light headed and lost balance. I am scheduled to go out there September 13. Had she remained in the hospital I would have made the trip for this weekend. I think I will move the trip up, but not for this weekend.
For now I am a little relieved. Very guarded though.
