Grandma's Fall

A week ago last Friday Grandma Cox took a bad fall off of a curb in Moses Lake. Many people came to help her and wanted to call an ambulance. She refused, because other than being embarassed at falling and feeling a little pain she just wanted to get to her car and rest for a minute. Deby was with her and helped her quite a bit. Well, the next day she felt more pain and the next day was worse with many bruises showing up. The worst pain was in her shoulder and so after a few more days decided to go in and see if it was broken. Luckily it wasn't but he did put her arm in a sling and gave her a perscription for pain pills. He also told her she might need a MRI to check out any other damage that might be causing the pain. So today she is at another Dr. finding out if she needs one. I will keep you posted of her results. Hopefully it is something that will heal on its own and she will be as good as new. As new as an 80 1/2 year old woman can be. (Sorry Mom, I can't write and be serious at the same time)
