Happy Earth Day!

Hope you all did your part in helping earth out! I didn't drive anywhere today. I guess that helped a bit. Who knows. I hope it did. Ciao!!

day 3 until now

It's been so long since I updated last, there is no way I can go day by day. Things are pretty much the same though. We had a really good Easter dinner. My dad helped alot with that, which is very good.

My mom did go back to the doctors on the 19th. She didn't need surgery. Thank God. She is still in the cast though and the doctor wants to see her again on the 1st of May. He told her he isn't totally ruling out surgery, so I guess we will just see what happens.

That's pretty much it! Ciao!

day 2 --- tuesday, apr 03

my dad had to go to work, of course, but only worked half day since he had to come home and help my mom to the bathroom. we still had only the crutches at this point. in the morning she called the doctors and had an appointment at 4pm. at the doctors, she would find out whether or not she would need surgery. thank God...she didn't!! she did get a better cast and will have to be in it until she goes back to the doctor on the 19th. when she goes back, she will find out then if she still need the regular cast, a walking cast or still surgery. hopefully, she will not need the surgery. the breaks were really clean, so that's good. it was only 1 step and from what she has heard from people about falling off of 1 step, she is doing really good. like her friend fell off of 1 step and her ankle was so broken, the doctors thought they would have to amputee her foot. she can walk now. so, my mom has a really great chance at getting the walking cast on the 19th. you can only hope and pray!

i have now taken over the "mom" role! lol seriously though, i have to cook, clean, shop for food and then go home and put it away. it's not bad, but when she was able to walk, i would help her, you know. now, i get help but not as much as she got when i helped her. my father works, but when he gets home, he helps my mom, so i can't complain there. my brother helps when it's convienent for him. it's annoying, but when he does help, he does good. i definitely do feel like the "mom" now! have to make sure everyone eats and then clean up! lol

the bad part of all of this is that on monday, the day my mom fell, i got a call from a temp. agency. i was scheduled to go in today for some tests, but had to cancel my appointment because of the fall. it sucks because i have been looking for a job. i have mailed out resumes and never had anything! i was bummed and then decided to try out at the temp. agencies. i was starting to get bummed because it was about a week and still haven't heard anything! then i did and i was excited yet a little scared because it has been so long since i last worked. i was ready to go there though and just get out there, you know. then this happened with my mom's ankle. what could you do though? the lady was really nice though and told me to call back when my mom is all better, so that we could re-schedule. that's the end of day 2!

what a week!!!! day 1

what a week i have been having! well, what a week my whole family has been having. last monday, my mom, brother and me went to an outdoor mall for pizza. they were going to be closing in a few minutes but still allowed us to order the pizza. since they were closing we decided to eat outside. it was so beautiful outside with a full moon. but, as we were coming down the stairs my mom fell. we kept asking her if she wanted to get up and she so couldn't. the security guard came over and we all decided to have an ambulance called. that was a good idea, considering she broke her ankle. it was so bad. i felt so bad for her. i still do. i wish she was all better. so, the ambulance came and when they were leaving, i had to take my brother and meet them at the hospital. my brother was freaking out! it was horrible! i didn't know whether to take him home or just have him wait with me there. i decided to have him wait with me there, considering i didn't know how long it was going to take or if i even had enough gas in the car to go back and forth. at that point we still didn't know if she had broken or sprained the ankle. my brother is mentally disabled so even though he is 25, he has the mind of a 10 year old. i decided to ask the nurse if she could put on the cartoon network so he could focus on that and try not to worry so much. she told me i had to ask the security guard and when i did, the lady was a bitch!!! the security guard told me she couldn't cause it was the last game of the final four and all the people wanted to watch it. okay...i could understand that. majority rules...blah, blah, blah. then i looked around and noticed there was NOONE in the waiting room but me and my brother! i could understand if the people in the waiting room wanted to watch the game but you, ms. security guard is a SECURITY GUARD!!!! you should not be worried about a basketball game, you should be watching the monitors and doing your JOB!!! that pissed me off. i decided to ask the nurse again if she could talk to the security guard and ask her for me and she said ok. nothing changed, but just then the lady from the ambulance came and told us my mom was there and we could go see her. thank God! we could finally breath! we were at the hospital for about 2 1/2 hours! everyone was tired and just wanted to go home! my mom felt sick with all the medicine and no food! it was just horrible. after we left the hospital, we had to go get gas and my mom's prescription at the pharmacy. by the time we got home, everyone was trashed. my brother ran into the house to get my dad to help my mom up the stairs. she has a cast on her left leg, from her foot to the bottom of the knee. so, she is hopping on the crutches and then...she falls again. oh my God!! i freaked out! i ran and told my dad...hurry up! the hospital should've really given us a wheelchair instead of just crutches. it's ridiculous. so, we finally got her into the house and into her chair. finally...the day was over!
