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 air conditioner.
It was confusing to understand how this happened. It went from us laughing and talking to her now laying 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 air conditioner 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 white 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 many 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 air conditioning unit has been leaking water for quite some time. Since I have time now, I’ll call the HVAC company and I hope to get someone to my house 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 proper HVAC tech should solve the issue so situations like this won’t happen again.
