[stretch2864]

Today has been a very long day!!! It started out ordinary enough with my DD going to her job at the mall, my mom doing some gardening outside and me going with one of my friends to lunch and a movie. After lunch my friend and I stopped at Target for some shopping and snacks prior to the movie. For some reason I had turned my phone to silent at Target--I guess I thought I might forget later on during the movie. Around 2pm we arrived at the theater, bought our tickets and then went to sit down. I decided to glance at my phone quick to make sure nobody had called (namely my DD) before the movie actually started. It was then I noticed that there were 2 missed calls. I checked the log and both were from home. "How odd," I thought since DD still should have been at work and my mom rarely calls me on my cell phone. I went out to the lobby then to check my voicemail and there is a panicked message from my DD, "Ambulance...grandma's fallen...why aren't you picking up your phone...call me!!!" My heart is in my throat then as I hurriedly call home. No answer. I try DD's cell phone. No answer. My friend was in the lobby by then because her DD had called also. She of course was wondering what was wrong. I told her and she said if I had to leave I could. (Of course, I am the one who had driven us to the movie.) Since I couldn't reach DD, I went to sit down again at the movie. Minutes later my phone rang and the hospital phone number showed up on it. I went back out to the lobby and DD told me that my mom had fallen outside and that an ambulance had come and brought her to the hospital. She had happened to come home early from work and when she drove up to our house there was an ambulance and police car in our driveway. She of course was freaked out. She went right in and there were 3 paramedics and a policeman standing in our living room. They allowed her to ride in the ambulance to the hospital so she could be with my mom. After I found out where they were, I hopped in my car (left my friend at the theater--they did give me a refund since I didn't get to see the movie) and drove straight to the hospital. It turns out her leg is broken in two places and she will have to have surgery later this week. She is home now until the doctor schedules the surgery, but is casted up to her hip and in a lot of pain. If anybody has any spare pixie dust for her, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
