16 Dec, found mother-in-law on the floor of her room (she lives with us).

Apparently fell during the night and was there for hours and hours and hours. Couldn't move, couldn't make it to the bathroom. She was awake, nothing broken but too weak to get up and very cold.

Ambulance called and MIL insisted on being cleaned before the ambulance arrived.

I was directed by panicky wife to lift MIL to get her to the bathroom to be cleaned and while doing so, heard a loud “POP,” felt a sharp stabbing pain in the lower back and saw stars. . .and collapsed.

The 911 operator then asked: “Should I dispatch another ambulance, sir?”

Tomorrow I see the back doc as it isn't getting any better and makes sleeping difficult.

MIL just out of ICU and in rehab and may not make it. This is a difficult time, as she is my MIL and she did live with us for 9-yrs.

Apology for the venting.

Please don’t apologize...sounds like your situation is in a mess right now and I will keep you all in my prayers.

I pray they are able to make your back feel better without having to have surgery!! I will also be keeping your MIL in my prayers, that she recovers and gets to go home in very good condition.

Happy new year
GOd Bless
