Hi Ya'll! I have been dying to share this with you and waited until it came to post about it. Then my house became topsy turvy so it had to go on hold. Don't give up, you'll see what I won before the end of this post. Marie, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post my fabulous win but here's why.
Long story short, my MIL got mad with us during the middle of the day went to bed without eating her lunch. When Neil tried to talk to her she just kept saying she didn't feel good, rib hurt, back hurt, things like that. Well what worried us the most was she looked like she had taken sleeping pills or something (which she hadn't, we handle all her meds). Anyway she was mad so she wouldn't talk to us and was acting incoherent, really weird. So rather than take a chance we took her to the emergency room where she smiled, laughed and forgot about being mad and had a good old time. Unfortunately we were there for a good 6 hours before we could go home. They did xrays, blood work, urinalysis and so on only to tell everyone that asked where she had pain (including the Drs and nurses), that she didn't have any and hadn't in a long, long time. When the Dr. whom she had never met came in she got so excited (he was so sweet and friendly) she just giggled and told him that she hadn't seem him in so long and it's so wonderful to see him again. He told her she was his best patient of the day and even gave her a kiss on the cheek. He told us everything was just fine xrays looked great and we could go.
Well here's where it started going down hill. We tried to help her up and she said you're killing my ribs but she got up and walked to the wheel chair and seemed fine. But by the next morning we knew she wasn't. Apparently we broke a rib. She's been in pain ever since. We finally were able to get her to eat and get up today. Poor thing, she just got over 5 broken ribs. Earlier this year it was 1 broken rib that took forever to heal and was very painful, then 5 more were broken and seemed to heal better. Even the Dr at the hospital said all was good. Bless her heart she doesn't fall or anything. The Dr. said her bones are just so brittle coughing could do it. So basically she was being stubborn and difficult and we all ended up in the emergency room only to be comforted by knowing there was nothing wrong and leaving with a problem we didn't have when we got there. Neil's stress level is off the charts which affects mine and so the whole house is completely on edge and out of balance.
