Mom fell today

Mom was getting ready for a Dr app this morning and she fell in the bathroom, must have fell against the toilet, since my daughter was taking her to the Dr already i did not go up there. The Dr checked her all over and was pleased with her over all health. She is badly bruised on her cheek, chest and knee, she has not fallen for such a long time.
Mom has been doing so well her eye Dr is willing to do a surgery on her eye, they want to remove the gel behind her eye to remove the floaters and debri that is in there to hopefully improve her sight. Mom has been blind in her left eye since a young girl so the thought of doing the surgery and risk loseing the sight in her good eye is just to scary for her, she has always had a fear of loseing the sight in her good eye. It's something that has to be done at some point and time but she's holding out. I have every bit of faith in her Dr but there's always that risk.
It will be done as an out patient surgery and only a local anisthtic (sp) which is a relief since she has such a hard time coming out of it.
Mom was teasing my daughter today, told her she was going to tell everyone that my daughter beat her up LOL, my daughter told her she better be careful because now a days someone would take her seriously.
