So, I live at home with my mom. Today, she ran to the bank today as I got ready for work. I was in the shower, get out, and there's three messages on the home machine. I never check the home machine, but knew the landlord was stopping by, and checked to see if he called.

Long story short, she got to the bank and before even tapping the MAC machine, gets hit by a car in a hit and run. Looks like she broke and/or sprained her tailbone. Leg looks broken too. They gave her a bunch of painmeds.

I got off today after explaining the situation to my boss. Am home, she's sleeping, took a bunch of pain meds. Never had my heart drop in my stomach like I did today.

Wow.  I hope your mom recovers soon.  And I hope they catch whoever did this.

So sorry to hear about your mom's accident.  Hope she has a speedy recovery.  And hope the creep that caused it is caught quickly.

She hates hospitals and wants to leave. Based upon her injuries as of now, she's guaranteed at least 24-48 hours. She tried checking herself out, but she recently got insurance, and we told her if she checks out against hospital advice she's required to pay the full bill.

She's calmed down a bit, took a bunch of Percocets, and has been sleeping. I'm home. She's there til at least 4pm tomorrow, maybe early Friday.

As of now, fortunately no internal injuries. Just her shinbone and coccyx bone. Hopefully with the pain meds and such, that'll heal soon enough. Just gotta figure out my work schedule. I can't not go to work. Losing today won't kill me finacially, but can't lose more than today.

I hate to hear that.  I hope your mom recovers quickly.

My wife's mom, a small, frail 83 year old, was in a head on collision at 60 mph Monday . . . . and walked away with only a fractured rib.  I think she is pure titanium beneath all the wrinkled old lady skin!!!!

Thanks, all.  So far, looking much better than initially expected.  So far, nothing internal's happened, no concussion.  Some swelling on and around her tailbone area, some knee issues.  They did more x-rays and such, potential surgery on her leg though.  She can go back for that down the line.

Wow, only a fractured rib? Sorry to hear about that collision, but thankfully it was just a fractured rib.

Your mom is a very lucky lady, both in the respect that the accident could have been much, much worse and that she has people who care enough about her to get her to take the hospital's advice.

I hope she's back on her feet soon and that they catch whoever hit her.
