Oh for pete's sake. My aunt who I saw on Monday was trying to clean out things from her house on Thursday and slipped on some gum leaves on her steep and uneven front steps and hit her head on the ground. Had a bit of minor whiplash. She's been resting all weekend thankfully. Once I've finished moving I'll go offer to help my aunt and uncle with moving crap outside. After reading about Bottom_racer's mum I'm not to keen on them risking another fall. They have two grown children who have no interest in helping...

Oh man I’m sorry. I hope she’s okay

Hugs and keep an eye on her. Seems the bad effects of falls can take a few days to appear.

I hope she’s ok Kitten.

If she’s got any signs of dizziness, vision problems all of sudden she needs to go see a doctor about a possible concussion.

I’m hoping it wasn’t too bad of a fall and impact.

I think she's okay given that the fall was on Thursday and she has been resting since. But I'm wary of her having another fall in the coming week, I hope she is very careful. She and my uncle feel like they have to do everything themselves because they are (a) frugal and (b) unable to rely on their kids for help, but it's not worth a fall.

Oh no. Hope it's all ok.

Oh no. I hope she's okay. Definitely check in on her over the next few days.
