Why's the rum always gone?
IR Asylum Head Nurses
I figured if I was going to leave a detailed account anywhere, it'd be here where my friends can read it and know what's going on...

I've been working on a project for my 3D Design Class, its called 'Pop Art' - making something small and mundane into a larger piece of art. Of course, me being me, I chose to make a giant bag of Jellybelly's.

I did the beans in paper mache and the ones I brought home yesterday were still wet from class so I had to let them dry over night. I asked my mom if she would paint them while I was in class today so I could come home and get right to assembling the bag.

Here's where it gets bad. She was in the process of painting the second bean when she walked around the edge of the picnic table - too close to the edge of our porch - and stumbled. She fell off, falling some seven or eight feet, landing right on her feet. The force of the landing knocked her out. This was at 9:00am, dad had left for work, I was getting ready for my first class of the day.

When she came too, she realized that both of her legs were incredibly painful and that one was bent at an odd angle. She hollared for my grandmother, but the dogs - who knew something was wrong - were barking and she couldn't hear her. It was 12:00 when my neighbor who was looking for his dogs found my mom, trying to crawl where she could get my grandmother's attention. She used his cell phone to call 911, call my dad and call me.

I got the call 2 minutes before my math class was out. I didn't answer my phone because I had it on vibrate and I was still in class. So, when I got out I headed for the cafe as I always do and that was when I checked the voice mail. This is exactly what my mom said: "Amy, I don't want you to freak out on me, but I was painting your jellybeans when I fell off of the porch and I think I've broken both og my legs. I need you to come home right now and take care of your grandmother while they take me to the hospital. The ambulance is on its way, DRIVE SAFE."

Of course by now I'm basically running down the hall and down the stairs while trying to find the paper that has my English teacher's number on it. All the mositure had been sucked out of my mouth so I couldn't swallow and I could barely breathe. I called Dr. Schakel and probably freaked her out by how freaked out I was and told her I wasn't going to be in class. By now I was basically running three blocks for my car. I called the number my mom called from - the neighbor answered and let me talk to my mom. She basically told me the same thing she said on the voice mail - especially the drive safe part. I called Mana to let her know not to look for me during our next break that I was going home because of my mom.

Now, it takes me over half an hour to drive from Mesa State College to my home - I made it in 15. What can I say? That's my mom... so what if I was driving 85mph the entire way there? I was doing it safely...

Anyways, I passed the ambulance just before getting home where I was met by my dad. He said the same thing, they think she broke both of her legs. So, he left to go follow the ambulance while I - as much as a fucking had too - finished the jellybeans while taking care of my grandma. I was in the process of writing a more detailed email to Dr. Schakel when my mom called again. She'd spoken with my aunt and told me to take Grandma over there - and pack for at least a week. So, I sent the mail, packed up grandma, finished the beans, and ran off to my Aunt Afton's.

I got to my aunt's and the unbelievable happens - my grandmother fucking falls on the front step. >.< I picked her up, Aunt Afton and I made sure she was okay, we got her settled in, I gave my grandma my love, thanked and hugged my aunt, and then ran off to Larchwood Inns (the nursing home) my grandfather was in.

This wound up being a very very very good idea. The people at Larchwood have my mom down as their primary contact for my grandfather and no secondary had been named so with her being in the hospital, she couldn't be the contact, so I offered the spot. So now, if something happens to my grandfather - I get called. Anyways, the staff gave me their support - they love my entire family there - and Joice, the head nurse of my grandfather's hall, went with me when I told him. (My mom's a Daddy's Girl and grandpa know's it) He looked like he was ready to cry, and I felt bad that I didn't have all the information, so I promised to come back when we found out more. So Joice and I wheeled grandpa to dinner and I ran off for the hospital.

This is kinda cool in a... bad sort of way... our hospital just got a new parking garage and I parked in it just because I've never parked IN one before... anyways, I call dad, he meets me in the ER waiting room, we trade ER Visitor badages, and I go in to see mom.

Her left leg didn't look too bad, it was burised and you could kinda sorta tell it was broken - though we were hoping it wasn't. Her right on the other hand... *shudders* her right ankle was larger than a softball and darker than the skin of this board, her knee cap was resting at a weird angle as was the rest of her leg which was beginning to bruise. I could barely look at it, so I focused on my mother's Einstienish hair.

Now, the thing about my mother and I are when things get bad - we joke. When I broke my finger, she teased me about holding up my pinkie. When I tore my ACL, she'd laugh when I'd fall behind and say 'Hurry up Gimpy!' so we joked in the ER. I teased her for her hair, about the fact that Larchwoods was 'waiting' for her, I even brightened her spirits by congratulating her on joining mine and grandma's 'Bum Knee Club.' After a while, I had to eat, so she sent me off with Dad for dinner.

We got back about 45 minutes later, dad and I decided I had best head home since I had homework so I was the first to go back into the ER and see her. (They have a one visitor per paitent rule) They had bandaged up her legs and drugged her up real good - she was preeeeeetty loopy. So we talked and when they came back in for some more x-rays, I got the chance to talk to the nurse. She told me that both of her legs were broken in the same place - the tibias just below the knees and that her right leg was broken in several different places, they weren't sure how bad her right knee was, and that she had a small fracture in her lower back - but it was nothing that'd result in paralysis but that she'll need surger - which is schedualed for tomorrow morning - and that she'll be confined to a wheel chair for at least three months.

So... after that I kissed her goodbye and went out to let my dad in. I went back out towards the car and called our family friend Mici and Mariah to let them know what was going on, I called Mana because I needed someone to talk too to keep my own self calm, then I headed home.

On the way home, I realized that maybe Kaytee, my sister, needed to know so I called the last number she was at. Some dude named Dan answered and I passed the message onto him - I have no idea who he is, but he was really sweet, telling me how sorry he was and that he'd pray for my mom and he passed the message to Kaytee. He called me back a few minutes later and gave me the number Kaytee was at and when I called it, she answered freaking out on me. I told her what was going down and told her to call me later that night - I wanted a heart to heart with her.

So I come home to an empty house and took care of a few more phone calls. I updated my aunt and my brother-in-law then I got online. Mana, Mitch, Abbey, Tobias, they were all very sweet to me in offering their support and all that - so thank you guys, you made it just a little more barible.

It takes me a good three hours to get working on my project because my brain refused to focus. Eventually I got another call from Kaytee, this time she told me that she was coming home. If this had happened a week ago, I'd tell her to fuck off, but with my dad working, me going to school, grandma needing 24/7 care and now, my mother going to need it... I started crying and begging for her to come and help our family... that I missed her... that I wanted my sister back... That things would be different, I'd make sure she enjoyed life here - not hated it. I bubbered on for like seven minutes before she said 'Dude, shut up. I already talked to dad, I'm coming home.' So... if you guys are praying for my mom, put in a prayer for Kaytee... that she makes it home safely and that she'll help the family instead of fucking it over.

Anyways... I got a call from mom again about two hours ago, she was wishing me goodnight. I wished her goodnight as well and told her I'd see her after I got out of classes tomorrow.

I'm not the kinda person that begs for sympathy nor think of myself too very often, and I'm going to demonstrate that now:

Abbey - I'll send the CDs when I can.
Mana - I'll make you the Princess Mononoke CD when I'm able to get a CD
Everyone else - I'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on the Dragon Guide... I've got two of five Common Males done, but... I'll get them done as soon as I can, I promise.

Now... I took some Tyenol PM to help get rid of my headache and to help me sleep... so... Goodnight guys... I'll talk at you tomorrow.

So the years rolled by and several died and left us somewhat reelin’. Johnny strummed his tommy gun, left blastin’ through the ceiling. So what became of the rebels, who sang for you and me? Grapplin’ with their demons in the search of liberty. Suffers who suffer all can swim upon the desert, where Avarice have ravaged all, in spite of good intentions. Don’t fill your mouth with Gluttony, for Pride will surely swell, but nothing’s unforgiven in the four corners of Hell. Envy and its evil twin, it crept in bed with slander. Idiots, they gave advice, but Sloth it gave no answer. Anger kills the human soul with bitter tales of Lust, while Pavlov’s Dogs keep chewin’ on the legs they never trust. But it’s the only life we know, blagards to the bone. So don’t wreck yourself, take an honest grip, for there’s more tales beyond the shore. Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin’ waves, together undivided but forever we’ll be free. So sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we, we’re Seven Drunken Pirates, we’re the Seven Deadly Sins.

hehe dankes Master of the Moo Graham Cracker... I'll keep all of that in mind. Here's an update on my mom as well as my situation:

My mom was diagnosed with two broken ankles, two broken tibias, one of her knee's are in bad shape, the other is completely destroyed and a small fracture in her lower back. She had the first of many, many surgeries tonight... it was four hours ago and I haven't been able to talk to my dad yet, so I don't know how it went but because of the scar tissue issued from the broken bones, they had to go in and pin the breaks externaly. She'll be like that for the next two weeks... which means she won't get to come home until they're off... after two weeks, they'll go back and put the pins and crap inside. This most likely is followed my more surgires, more hospital stays, and a lengthy time in a wheel chair.

And you know what just made my day a glowing ball of sunshine?

MY FUCKINGING MATH TUTOR GAVE ME HER COLD AND BECAUSE THE LAST FUCKING INCH OF MY CAR WAS WITHIN 5 FEET OF A DRIVE WAY I GOT A PARKING TICKET!

Why does God hate me?! >.< LOL

lol But I NEED my tutor! Without her, I wouldn't know how to do:

21x - 45 + 11 = -85

(I have no idea if that's a legitmate problem... lol but it works!)

And yes, Cops do SUCK... lol Fkn parking ticket...

Anyways, her surgery went all right, our only real big problem right now is my sister is stuck in Ogden, UT... If anyone wants to pick her up and bring her to Grand Junction, CO... That'd be GREAT! lol

Wow, I hate college cops. At BYU, we call them Pretend-A-Cops.

I said this before, but don't worry about the CDs! lol. And are you talking about the Princess Mononoke audio CD? Because I have that. If you want, I can send it. Or, I could burn it at school and send it.

Much love and jellybeans. Except not big ones. With paint. GRAH. :unsure:

LMAO! Oooh... Mom and I are never going to live down the jellybean joke. >.<

Hehe and actually, I do have the Princess Mononoke CD on my computer - I burnt it from April but I told Mana I'd burn it for her. I still need to fix and send yours. >.< (Yeah, fix... I used a strange program and not all the songs got on there. >.<)
