gerry update

Zoe's mom, Gerry, had a bad day yesterday. She fell on her face. We got a call from Western State Hospital about 8 in the morning to let us know they were sending her to the Emergency Room. Zoe was concerned that she might be admitted. The Emergency Room at St. Clair handles the emergency patients from Western State Hospital. Given that Western State Hospital is for mental patients (which includes Alzheimer's) you would think they would be used to dealing with not normal people but they aren't. But Gerry wasn't there long and was on the way back before noon. She broke her nose, tore open the very fragile skin on her arm and hurt her knees. At least her neck was OK. Zoe has more. We will probably go visit tomorrow. She is pretty bruised and in pain.
