Calling Polly

[susandennis]

It's just after 11 there when I call.

Hello
Polly, This is Susan Dennis.
What's wrong.
She's fallen in the bathroom.
Where is she.
Still in the bathroom.
Have they called the EMS.
Yes, they are on the way and will take her to Roper.
I'm getting dressed right now and I'll be there in a flash.
Thank you.
Bye.

For all my bitching and moaning about how people everywhere do not do, act, or say the way I think they should, there's Polly when it counts.  My cellphone range just after 8 and caller id said it was Mom.  Fuck.  Bless her heart, she didn't want me.  She wanted Polly and couldn't get her.  She hurt her shoulder (thank god it was her head or her hip or her ass).  The staff came a running and they wouldn't move her so she made them get the phone and she starts dialing.

She has Polly on speed dial (land and cell) but she couldn't get her.  Thankgod Polly answered on the first ring when I called cause I had no plan B.  I called Mom back and the head nurse answered and told me that they were probably being overly cautious but they didn't want to take a chance.  I asked her to tell Mom that Polly was on the way and that I loved her.  She said she would.

Poor Mom.

I hope that she's alright (in terms of not being hurt too badly) and heals quickly.

I love your mom and Polly. I'm sending healing vibes!

Sorry to hear about the spill.

Worrying sure is the worst thing about such times.

From what I can tell she is one spunky lady like her daughter ( I was going to say "Broad", but not sure if she woudl approve if that or not), so I bet she is up and around in no time.

Well wishes and positive vibes sent from Wisconsin.

Polly rocks. And I hope your Mom is not badly hurt and is feeling 100% asap.

I hope your mom has a speedy recovery. It sounds like she's in good hands.

I hope she's ok, at least if she was up to going over their collective heads on the cell phone she's still got all her marbles. Hopefully that means she's not in too much pain.

This world clearly needs more Pollys. Glad your Mom has one of them and hope all goes well for her recovery.

I hope this gets resolved in the best way possible for your mom

I am glad for both of you that Polly is around.

That's one of the scary things about being so far away. I hope she's not hurt too badly.
