I got the call today while i was talking to stan and was able to stay calm enough to calm my mother down. She called me to tell me that she had to take my grandmother, her mother, to the emergency room because she fell off the shower chair and was in pain.
I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was about five seconds from losing it but i managed to calm her down and get her into gear so she could make the trip to the hospital. She called me when she got there and basically they had to wait for x-rays to see if there was any broken bones.
Turns out she did in fact fracture a rib but they said it was not bad enough to wrap it or do anything to it. They in fact sent her home as everything else i guess was in order. Once again stan seemed to be in the right place at the right time and his immediate response was to first ask what happened and then to insist that i stay calm and focused and wait until we got further information.
It helped tremendously to have someone to talk to at that time especially since they were focused on keeping me calm, being supportive and upbeat. I've said this before but I will say it again, Thank goodness for stan being around not sure what i would do without him....I pray to God that I never have to find out...
