My mother fell and was taken to the hospital for a deep cut to the back of her head. The people of SOMC were great and 17 staples later and 4 divisions of OHSAA notes and I get to take her back to her home. This was my attempt at staying alert. Hope it makes sense.

She is doing remarkably well for a 70 year old who fell in the middle of the night and gashed her head. All scans and x-rays came out fine.
