Got home from work to find a note from my dad saying that my mother had hurt her wrist playing tennis and was in the ER at Mount Sinai. (I work across the street from Mount Sinai, but in the way of these things, nobody called me... oh well.)

She just called, and it turns out she broke her wrist. Being my mother, she immediately said "It's just a hairline fracture, and it wasn't out of position or anything, so it's really fine." But she BROKE her WRIST! Wah!

Anyway, she's on her way home now.

I'm glad she's not terribly hurt, but an injured parent is a very scary thing. You're the second person I've seen whose family failed to notify them during an emergency. *sends positive thoughts your way (and your mother's)*

Thank you!

None of us has ever broken a bone before, so this is all new. So far so good, anyway!

That sucks... I would say that I'm terribly sorry to hear that but somebody beat me to those lines so I get stuck with the above. That being said, your Mamma is good people!

Bad stuff should not be allowed to happened to good people.

Indeed, no, it should not!

She does seem to be coping quite nicely, but has a tendency to say things like "When I carry heavy things with this hand, it hurts. So I stopped." *eyeroll*

yikes, glad she's ok, still. ack. *hugs*

she sounds a bit like my mother who once fell through the trapdoor from the hayloft in the barn and neglected to tell me. ;)

Thanks! And *yikes* to your mother's experience. Parents should not do this to their children! Sheesh.
