cutting to the chase, they released her --> home, I was relieved, wanting to be helpful, she sitting kitchen table, dinner on her plate. snowing, guy who shovels --> front door. I go to answer, she she just had to get up. I said, warmer weather tomorrow, no need shovel; but she insisted, civic duty, have sidewalk shoveled, no matter that nobody was out in the mix of snow & freezing rain, she wanted to haggle with the guy.
she fell to floor! cried out! by the time I saw her, she was up, & he had her by both arms. I did not know she actually fell to floor, she did not say, he did not say. :d evil: I obviously had no need or right to know! So, bedtime, she still said nothing about rib pain, but wanted sleep in recliner. 5 Am, I awaken, just happen to hear her coughing, go check, just in case. She now finally, says ribs hurt, and she did fall to floor! --> 911 --> hospital. I am still at home; cursing her for her silence. Just called hosp., she in xray. Stupid depression era thinking, suffer in silence. 
Likely broken ribs.
Funny/ironic, yesterday, just called sister, talked about mom ought to give up house & move in with daughter. Just called her again, 6am, pretty much same discussion + cursing mom's silence.
i feel sorry
