I am glad she is ok. My mum has had a couple falls recently (she is 70) and it really is hard to see your parents get frail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-an-awful-evening#post-951866 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:11:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 951866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Hil - BIG HUGS!!!

I hope she is in good spirits!</p> <p>I didn't know labs liked to jump on people! We used to have an akita who loooooved to jump on people, and it was a massive dog which eventually pushed my uncle down the stairs x2 and me down the stairs once (I was about 6). After that, my dad didn't let it come upstairs. Poor pooch was so sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-an-awful-evening#post-951682 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:01:00 +0000 Sveta 951682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was such&nbsp;a scare! I am so glad you mom is ok, at 74 even the simple fall can have complications. I wish her a speedy recovery and for you to see the end of that cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-an-awful-evening#post-951680 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:00:01 +0000 missvee 951680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a shame. I hope your mom continues to recover nicely. We've always had big dogs too - they are lovely pets, but they can knock you over with their enthusiasm. Ours used to like to come up behind you and *accidently* bang into your knees. Splat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-an-awful-evening#post-951650 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:40:53 +0000 Anonymous 951650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so sorry!!! &nbsp;I hope your mom heals in record time. &nbsp;Big hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-an-awful-evening#post-951647 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:38:13 +0000 Hil 951647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday was not a great day! After barely four hours sleep on Thursday night and&nbsp;a cold that just won't leave after about 3 weeks of snot, I just felt awful. And we had plans for Friday evening with my family. It was my parent's 39th wedding anniversary so I decided to invite them to dinner at my home.&nbsp;</p> <p>My folks arrived at about 6 and we were greeting them outside - and having a giggle because you know how I was dressed in the blue and black yesterday? And hubby thought that I was dressing like my mother? Well she arrived wearing a similar shade blue jersey and black pants. I had changed out of the loose fitting pants into some leggings, but I was still wearing the blue top. </p> <p>As we were walking towards the house, my Labrador jumped up against my mom to greet her and knocked her off her feet and to the ground. I literally heard the thud of her head against the paving. I rushed over to help her and discovered that she sustained a bad gash on the back of her head that was bleeding profusely and I suspect&nbsp;a mild concussion.&nbsp;My dad rushed her to the nearby hospital and she received 9 staples to the wound. She is okay today- &nbsp;lightheaded and sore though.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was all so awful and I really didn't cope well. All my first aid skills escaped me as I saw her lying there bleeding. I felt so irrationally scared about whether she would be okay. My mom has always been strong and healthy, but she is 74 now and she looked so frail! On the bright side, I was so impressed at how calm my 10 year old boy was... he managed to lock the dogs away and run up and find a bandage on his own initiative while my dad and I were trying to help my mom up. So good!&nbsp;</p> <p>What a horrid day!!! :(</p> </p>
