Accidents happen

Yesterday after Bible study,  I met my friend for an enjoyable lunch at Metro Diner. After I was home for a bit, I decided to give my mom a call. In the past I would call her on Thursdays as I drove to Victory, but ever since there was a terrible accident on the Bridge with a family killed, I have decided to not do that anymore. So now when I call her, I have no deadline to end the call like I did when going to the study. Mom was resting in her chair when I called her after she'd dusted that morning. Wears a person out! She told me about my sister, Kerry, coming for an overnight visit and all the good food Kerry brought with her. 

We talked for a bit before Mom asked if I'd heard that Lori had fallen in her bathroom. NO!, I had not and I was terribly upset to hear this. Lori had called Mom a few days ago and told her about it, the fall occurring over the weekend prior. When I was done talking with Mom I called Lori to see how she was. Lori was at work but could talk, and told me about her fall. 

Apparently she had a taken a shower and was stepping out of the tub. She is unsure exactly how it happened but didn't lift her foot high enough and down she went on the floor. She hit with a mighty thud but her hubby didn't hear it. Lori was able to get up on her own, no harm and no foul, but has now bruising from her thigh to above the ankle on one leg. It didn't stop her from going with her lady friends that evening, she is a trouper.

I just hate it when I hear that family or friends have a fall, no matter what age they are. Lori said if she was older she might have broken a bone but she IS four years older than me. She said she had some padding on her legs to buffer her but I told her she did not have much (not like mine!). My other sisters have bird legs like their grandma and mama, I don't know where mine came from! I am so glad Lori is okay, though, none the worse for the wear. Guess she can wait a while to get one of those emergency pendants, especially since David is there to help her!
