I meant to sit in front of the television set and knit yesterday evening. But things don’t always go as you plan.
The phone rang. It was an employee at mum’s home. She said, you mum just had a fall. We don’t think it is anything serious but she complains and the matron wants you to take her to the emergency ward to check.
I will come at once, I said. I drove to mums home and she was asleep by the tele.
Look who is there said Frida the employee to mum and she woke up. I took her to the emergency ward.
It was half past eight when we got there and must have been half past seven when I got the phone call.
A lot of people were waiting in the waiting room. I told the receptionist that mum had, had a fall and I also told her that she lives in a home for Alzheimer’s deceased people. That she is uneasy and can’t stand waiting. We were at once let into another waiting room where people who are next in the row are called up.
We soon got a room and mum was laid on a stretcher . We had to wait half an hour there and for mum it was very long and I can’t say that I was feeling alright because old people can be difficult. Not that she would ever want to be that.
The doctor came and mum went to x ray. We then waited for the results and nothing was broken. All was fine. It was half past 10 when we went out of the emergency ward and it was 11 when I came home.
