My mom called me just as I was leaving for work. She was at the hospital... Yesterday, she was fixing the dryer, and reached around to look for a receptacle for the hose which had come off, and ended up electrocuting herself for about 30 seconds.. a 220 volt current up her arm.
She was at the hospital all night, her heart is great.. no damage they can see.. but her arm is burnt.. her hand and all up her arm is numb. She is okay, but I got right down to the hospital, to see for myself. The wierd thing is why her husband didn't phone me to let me know something happened to my mother.. and she phoned me as soon as she could get to a phone. Just to let me know everything is okay. I am a little um... whats the word? Perturbed that no one thought it was important enough to let me know my mother was in pain and avoided a possible very bad accident.
I just got her a magazine, toothbrush and paste, I fixed her hair, as both hands were all IV-ed up and the other one bandaged... small things....and got her a travel pillow for comfort, as she has to stay an extra night in hospital for observation, and might go from the cardiac unit to the burn ward.
She's okay, shaken up, but will survive.PLease send healing light. She's a special lady, and she'll get over it, but it's scary.

Woah that is scary. What a shock for all of you! I'd feel bummed out to if no one contacted me.
The main thing is that she's ok, and I hope her arm gets better.
Sending lots of Light and Love your way.

Thank you all so much!
You are all so lovely. That is why this is such a home to me.My mom is such an independent person.. which I like, and I am as well, and my children. but she has to understand that even for small stupid things, if you need me, I am there. I want to be.
I know she has no use for a big basket of flowers.. but to have someone open her food tray and cut her food, when she has limited mobility.. and to have someone do her hair, when she is unable to, so she can feel like a person, not a creature...
I hate that I was denied the opportunity because I didn't know.
When this is over, I want her to know I am among the first to phone. I want the opportunity to be able to love her... the option. I don't understand why it wasn't important enough to call me. I am acually hurt by those non actions.. the man she married is a good man, and I like him.. but he has to know ( especially because he was busy doing other things, and she didn't even have a toothbrush!!!!!!!!!!!) He has to know that I am important enough to contact. It eludes me why he didn't.
It hurts me.
I am making sure this won't happen again. I mean.. my knowledge of things. Then I will decide myslef if it is serious enough to avoid or involve myself in.
This is my mom. Tangled emotions aside, as the one who raised me, good and bad.. if she needs me, I am there. Nothing else said.
Thanks for letting me rant.
I hope if I am in the hospital, my kids would be allowed to come and make sure with their own eyes I am safe. I would hope my daughter would come in and do my hair. ( No one wants to be a frizz pot in any situation!!! It's important!!)
Thank you all  IP: Logged |

I'm so glad she's ok, pix (Got a little nervous when I saw the thread title)I know that particular "perturbed" feeling. Rather aggravating, isn't it? Lots more comfy-cozy-everything's-gonna-be-ok healing light from me too IP: Logged |

I am so glad she is ok!!!
love and light to her for a speedy recovery. Don't let other people's actions affect you too much- I know I would have been very upset as well if it were me in your place, but ultimately, all that matters is that you know you would have done everything you could to be there for her (you DID!! As soon as you found out!!) and also, SHE knows the same! That is all that matters! Love each other, be there for each other, and never mind the rest of them. IP: Logged |

pixelpixie,
I understand the use of word "perturbed". That's how I felt when nobody informed me that my dad died until after the funeral. I don't blame anyone. I just deal with my feelings of loss and grief. They probaly had a lot on their minds at the time and didn't think to let me know in time.------------------

Hi sueg,
Some people elude me too. I guess the main reason is that I'm here in US and they all back in Russia. Or maybe it's because his wife isn't my mom and she simply didn't think about letting me know right away. I really don't know. That's why it did feel so strange. It's like someone came and slapped you on the face without any explanation. And you are left "perturbed" as to the reason.------------------

Rant away, Pixel. You'd be surprised how many people have weird stuff going on in their families... But sometimes there are innocent enough explanations for these kinds of things even though they hurt at the time.IP: Logged |

Thank you all so much, it warms my heart!
(and hurt)
Yes, I am as busy and forgetful as the next person, so I can't truly hold it against him, I know we all have reasons.. but I do want him to understand if something happens, please phone me. It is important.
