Lightning struck for the second time in over two months yesterday afternoon.
My mother ended up hurting her hip once again. This time, she was sitting in the armchair in the living room and turned slightly and dislocated it.
I was upstairs checking emails as it was just me and her with the baby and I heard her scream. I initially thought there was something wrong with my nephew so I ran downstairs and into the living room.
She was in a lot of pain so I called 999 and then called all my father who was on the bus going into town.
A paramedic arrived in a car and then an ambulance came not so long later and took her to the hospital.
She had an operation yesterday evening and is expected to be in until Monday.
I usually go into panic mode when stuff like this happens when there are other people around me to deal with the situation but, as it was only myself who could help, I seemed to pull adrenaline out of somewhere.
