He spent Wednesday and a good bit of yesterday with her at the hospital. It
seems she passed out and fell right on her face with no hands outstretched
to try to break her fall. She has a broken nose, some bones in her face are
damaged and her eyes are blackened and swollen shut. The nurse found her on
the floor of her apartment when she came around to see if she was coming to
dinner in the dining room of the nursing home. Gretchen doesn't remember
falling at all. They were giving her IV fluids and some pain medication.
No idea why she passed out. She's been eating. Her blood pressure appears
to be under control. She's going back to her apartment at the home today
but will have a nurse with her at all times until she recovers.
John flies to Rochester tomorrow to deal with her house and other property.
Spare purrs for her would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, Jill, but it's better that she's in a cared-apartment
setting than back at her old house in Rochester. How long would it have
taken someone to find her at her old house? I'm glad John brought her to
Arkansas. My thoughts go out to the three of you.

Thanks, kili. Yes, it's a good thing he moved her to Arkansas. Lord only
knows how long it would have taken for anyone to find her. She wasn't
exactly friendly with her neighbors. I'm sure she'll be okay, will just
take some time.

Yes, if she's blacking out and falling without apparent reasons, it's much
better that she's in a place with lots of other people and staff on hand to
help her when she needs it. Purrs that she'll mend soon. It sounds very
painful for poor Gretchen.

Purrs for John's mother, I'm glad she was living somewhere she could be
found.

Purrs that John's mom recovers swiftly and fully.

She won't be getting spare purrs from here...she'll be getting the
proper full-on kind! ;o)
Purrs and hugs that she's on the mend soon.

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess it's a good thing she wasn't in her
old home, alone. Many purrs for John and his mom.

That's so scary! I do hope they find out why she passed out and that it can
be treated.
Lots of healing purrs and best wishes for her to not be in too much pain,
