Linda had a Good morning, tough afternoon. At 9 am picked up a part for Linda's oven and by noon had found my promised Christmas present - a lounge chair to replace the one on loan from our Church. At 3 pm Linda had Occupational Therapy at Carolinas Medical Center Rehabilitation Center and while on an excursion outside fell and hurt her face, head, side, and wrist. To Emergency Room and many hours later CAT Scan revealed bleeding in brain. X rays showed no broken ribs. She is being kept overnight in Intensive Care unit for observation and if conditions develop could have another surgery. Doctor thought she would not need surgery but they are being cautious and observing her. I came home around 3 am and will go back early Tuesday. Her face is scratched and hurt. Her head hurts but not as much as one would think. Her side is another matter and the doctor said a bruised rib is as painful as a cracked one. Got tetanus (sp, it is late)shot and pain pills. I hated to leave but I am beat.
