My morning....long story!

My mother lives in a 3rd floor apartment, has been there for 23 yrs. I dropped my kids off at the back door and told them to run up and look out the front window so I know they got up there, we do this all the time. (when I'm running too late to go up and chat before work). I went around the block, look up and nobody is there so honk....honk...honk... scream "Ma????" so because my mother is always ill and she is my responsablilty, I freak and RUN (try too...) up the three flights of stairs, go in, (thank God I have keys) let my kids in the back door who are now crying, scared to death because Grandma didn't let them in and I say "Hello???" and I hear this faint voice "I'm locked in the bathroom"...she was having a panic attack in there BAD! She told me not to kick the door in because the landlord would be mad so I took the door knob OFF, still couldn't open it, took the hinges off..STILL couldn't open it..so I told her to get IN the tub and close the curtain and KICKED THE DOOR DOWN!!! She came out clutching her chest,..I thought she was gonna fall over so I called my boss to tell him I was going to take her to the ER, she told me she'd be fine so I came to work...told my kids (7 and 9) to call 911 if Grandma starts acting funny..Before I left she looked at the clock and said "it's 8:30??? I went to the bathroom at 6!!!" OH MY GOD!!

Ohmigosh! I hope she's ok now! Have you talked to her since you got to work?

Oh my i sure hope she is ok!! That has to be scary being locked in the bathroom good thing u checked on her

OMG... is she gonna be ok??? sounds terrifying! She seems like such a sweetheart from meeting her the other night. You're a great daughter to take care of her like you do Your daughters seem very smart, i'm sure they won't let anything happen to grandma! Sorry you had to have such a ****ty morning I hope your weekend goes better! ~Jenn

Sweetie, My Mom has panic attacks too. Does yours take anything for it? She'll be fine...but lucky for her that you came when you did. What if it had been tomorrow!??! Install a phone in there for her..wouldja!?! Hope your day gets better hon!! And pffffftttt on your comment about the picture

YIKES! I'm glad she's ok. What was up with the door? Make sure she has a cordless phone and tell her to bring it into the bathroom with her. Ours has a little clip. She probably (like all grandmas) wears a little housecoat. She can just clip it on the pocket. You have the strangest things happen to you. LOL
