I get a call from my sister to let me know that my mother is going into the emergency room because her leg really hurts. It has been hurting for a while and her doctors haven't helped. So I tell her to keep me informed. No real cause for alarm because she is still walking around.
A few hours later, my sister tells me that it is bone cancer and there is nothing that can be done for her. I try to call my mother, but the phone is busy and then it just keeps ringing without an answer.
My mother calls me in the morning as chipper as ever. It is a tiny hip fracture and they gave her crutches and pain meds. My idiot sister talked to my father, who only said that the doctors said nothing could be done. She ASSUMED she was dying of bone cancer because my mother had breast cancer and was treated for it. No one ever said anything about cancer! The fracture is so small that they are not treating it.
So now I know for sure never to listen to my sister, especially late at night. And I need a nap now.
