My thoughts raced with fear and terror as I sat in the hospital’s waiting room.
My mom fell down the steps after slipping on water that was created by the a/c.
It was confusing to understand how this happened. It went from us laughing and talking to her now kneeling in a hospital bed with possible broken ribs. I couldn’t help but feel guilty. I knew there was water that formed because of the a/c and I could’ve cleaned it up. I couldn’t help but think about all the things my mother has done for me as I stared at a colorless wall with tears forming. I’m so angry at myself, this could’ve been avoided but I have to be here for her now and make sure that she is ok like she has done so more than 2 times for me before. I know I will be waiting for her for a while before I see her. The tumble was extremely dangerous and I had to have an ambulance come and get her. Sitting here, with thoughts running through my mind, and nothing I can do. I know the a/c device has been leaking water for quite some time. Since I have time now, I’ll call the heating and cooling company and I hope to get someone to my home tomorrow at the latest. I don’t want to see that water leakage anymore. Now I see the dangers that can be created from something that should’ve been taken care of a while back. Instead of mopping up the water to maintain it, a regular heating and cooling tech should solve the issue so situations like this won’t happen again.
