ER adventure

So last night after watching ER, my mom, grandmother and I were getting ready for bed.... and my grandmother fell in her bathroom. She was hysterical and poor mom rushed in there partially dressed to help her... she was bleeding from a gash on her hand, one on her leg and a small cut on her nose. So we called the EMT's... they came and checked her out. They were thorough and noticed that her wrist was swolen and tender and so suggested that we drive her to the hospital to get an xray. So we got into the car at midnight and I drove to the hospital... 16 miles on a dark backroad with ENORMOUS pockets of fog that you couldn't see through. It was a nightmare and scary as anything. Luckily, we got there and there was no one there... she could walk right in. (the night before there had been 40 people in there with chest pain!) Well, thankfully, the wrist wasn't broken and so we drove back (through worse fog) and got back at 3am. Long night. Thank God that we were there when she fell, though - she really shouldn't be alone.
