Its amazing to me how a split second can change everything. This past weekend, Tom was helping my mom install an electric dog fence in her backyard. (Keep in mind my mom is a bit accident prone. Anyone remember a couple years ago when she broke her collar bone on a scooter and broke her front tooth, both while on her cruise? Oh, and there is the time she broke her toe, and the one where she broke both her legs at the same time, her nose problems, breaking her tooth again, and falling down the stairs like twenty times!) Well, anyways, somehow she slipped and busted some bones. She started screaming and Tom came running. (my dad was at funeral) She kept yelling at him to do something (poor guy) and so he finally called the paramedics. It was disgusting, we have a picture, but I'll spare you the visuals. Long story short, she will be in the hospital for three days. She just got out of surgery with 18 screws and two plates! She is off of it for six weeks. Looks like I now what I will be doing but at least I don't have to do her hair this time! I feel so bad for her. Keep her in your prayers!

oh this is much more serious than I thought. I'm so sorry. It sounds like you may have to do quite a bit of help around there. Let me know if you need me to watch porter sometime. I'll pray for your mom too. poor thing. My mom broke her ankle around thanksgiving time a couple years back and it was really hard for her. It is so frustrating not to be able to do the things you normally can do. good luck.
Oh so sad for Becky. We'll keep her in our prayers, and tell her we hope she's feeling better soon.
Oh, man. That is no fun! I am so sorry!
Poor Becky--what a horrible injury over a silly fall (sounds like something that would totally happen to me...:) Tell your mom we are thinking of her and hope she heals quickly!
Maybe you DO need to post a picture of her foot...I know my husband would be totally curious to see it.
