long story short: mom gave herself a nice little concussion

long story: thursday i was done at hte lake with my mom putting up insulation at the new house. i was on one side of the room and she was on the other, i heard an odd thump and turned to se what happened. she was laying on the floor not moving "OH SHIT!" right?!? i got over to her and she was a bit out of it and crying, "FUCK THATS BETTER THEN MY FIRST THOUGHT", i get her to sit up and she's a little woozy and her head is killing her. she's kind of scared and not really talking in or making any sense, but i figured out that she must have stood up too fast an knocked her head against a part of the ceiling that kind of sticks out. it's a very solid piece of wood so her head lost this one. i got her on her feet but it was obvious somehting wasn't right. i took her straight to the doctor who sent us to the ER for a CT scan. from where we were, her doctor was on the way to the ER so i called ahead and said i was stopping there. Her doc checked her out real quick and said she had given herself a very good mild concussion. she called ahead to the ER where the doc wanted a CT scan done to make sure something else wasn't wrong. during this little "check up" my mom was definetly scared, she wasn't feeling right, her head and teeth hurt (her teeth hurt because she managed to insticually snap her jaw shut and mash her teeth togeather) and she was feeling scared and a little stupid. i think the doctor and myself came to the same conclution of concussion and then i took ma over to the ER. there we got her a CT scan an were sent home. an hour or so later we got a call from the doctors office telling us that the CT scan came back negative and everything should be fine.

during the traveling and rushing to doctors/ERs i had to make half a doxen phone calls and think a million other things.

on our way down to the lake, i picked my mother up at her office and we left her car there. i had to call one of the ladies she works with that we wouldn't be back that day to pick up the car and that my mom wouldn't be in for a few days with a concussion.

my first instinct when any sort of medical emergency pops up is to call my grandmother on my moms side.


i had a huge post typed out but i was lost to server error, fucking internet, i'll try to retype most of it.
