so .., Mom fell down some stairs this afternoon, hurting her ankle and back. at the hospital, they've done some x-rays and a CT scan to check on things. i just got a call from sis while i went by the house to make sure that their dogs and such were okay, addressing other concerns, etc. ...
things sound like she broke a bone down close to the ankle (i will know more for sure later, but i think that they said that the tibia, one of the lower leg bones, is what broke, down close to the ankle area) ....
there is also the concern of a break, potentially serious, in 1 or more lower back vertebrae / tail bone / hip area ... though it may be more the back than the hip.
she's being transferred to a hospital in Nashville where a specialist will consult and help take care of things.
that's basically all that i know at this time. Sis and pops, maybe my other sister as well, will be going down in an hour or two to see what's going on after they get something quick to eat. i'll probably join them and go down there in a little while and see what's next.
i will, of course, let everyone know more when i find out something.
continued thoughts, etc. appreciated.
