19. It is scary...........

I saw her on Wednesday, did some shopping & banking for her. She has since about Thanksgiving time, been complaining that she had broken several toes. Though I have often told her she should see a Doctor, her answer was "no, there's nothing they can do for it". I disagree, I thought the toes could be splinted and her foot put in one of those ugly blue boots.

Her mom talked to her on Thursday saying she would bring over lunch on Saturday. So sometime between this call Thursday and Friday at noon (we know noon, because a neighbor put her mail under the door & it was still there Saturday) she fell and we found her about 1 p.m. on Saturday.

I had noticed a sore on her left calf (leg that was amputated) asked her what it was, and she blew it off. I also didn't like how her leg looked, it was mottled. She blew this off.

She's been captive in her apartment since late November & has been telecommuting. As she is CFO of her company it's been easy for her to do. Most of the banking I've done for her has been deposits into the Company's account.

How this happened, and as quickly as it did, is downright frightening.

Thanks for letting me vent.
