Back home after picking up my mum from the hospital. I left around 3am once we realised she wasn’t going to get seen by the doctor for hours, and I would be too tired to safely drive her home. Took until 10am to get her scans done, and 3pm to get the all clear, so a long stint in ED. She’s just got some bruises and she’s a bit sore, so glad that’s all it is.

I went to the tow truck place to clear out her car and she’s lucky the collison was on the passenger side and not the driver side, because she would have been severely injured. The other person involved was completely fine, newer car with way more airbags that cushioned the impact.

Barely slept last night and all the driving around today, I’m exhausted.

Time for some well earned rest and glad to hear your mum is ok.

Get plenty of rest, you need to look after yourself as well.

So glad that you're both ok. Definitely rest up, that's a lot to deal with in 24 hrs...
