A beautiful day

Yesterday was a bad day.  It ended up with my elderly Mother going to the Dentist and falling on the floor head first.  With a few complaints of pain to the attendents in the office, she got 911ed to the ER for evaluation.  After numerous calls placed to her at the ER, I finally got the call at 10:00 pm that all was okay and nothing was broke. Prior to this, she called everyone she knew and told them that she was in the hospital and didn't know when she would be able to go home.  She said she couldn't walk.  I know because I got the calls from them wondering what happened.  She of course was making me feel guilty for not taking her.  Why do Mothers do this?  Are we all doomed to follow the same path?  My kids make me feel guilty, my friends make me feel guilty, and my Mother makes me feel guilty!  Am I guilty?  No, people just don't understand what I want.  Guess it is the wall I like to put up between me and others so I don't get hurt.  When does the guilting stop?  I must now leave - Mom wants to go to the foot Doctor and a follow up to the regular Doctor from yesterdays fall.  Talk soon.......
