How your day sometimes goes, when you're in your 70's. Mine started as expected; reporting to our local hospital at 0615, for a procedure under general anesthesia. Woke up, feeling not nauseous, or foggy brain, big plus.
Wife accompanied me as my designated driver. Nurses went to retrieve wife to meet me in recovery. Nurses return w/o wife, concern on their faces. They explain on the walk to my room, wife who uses a cane fell in the hallway on her hip. Said they'd take me the ER after I dressed.
We sat in ER waiting room an hour or more, waiting on results. She's admitted with broken hip.
Surgery tomorrow at 0800, full hip replacement.
Neither of us know my daughter's or granddaughter's phone number without our cells. Left mine at home intentionally, she left hers at home by mistake. Fun day, she rated her pain level at a 9.
p.s. I violated the no alcohol rule for 24-hours around hour 12. Merry Christmas, LOL
Best wishes to both of you, and to those who worry/care for you, too.
