Emergency Room Episode

Mom got up yesterday at 10am, having a great morning. She was walking to the bathroom, walking into the kitchen to get a drink. I set up a hair appointment for her for 1:30. And it went downhill from there. Quickly.

Without getting into all the gory details, she had problems with her bowels, so much so that she was lying on the floor in pain, where she had slipped, and Gary and I couldn't move her. Finally I called an ambulance; they came and helped us get her up and we decided we could drive her to the emergency room. Everything still going downhill. We arrived at the ER at 2pm, didn't get to a room until 3:30 and then saw the doc. Several tests (and a lot of time) later nothing wrong was found and we came home at 8pm. She was exhausted, and I was exhausted, both physically and emotionally.
