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!
