A Parent’s Injury

A month ago, my mom took a tumble during her early morning workout. She was already suffering from osteoporosis, and her kneecap was shattered. She needed emergency surgery. With mom in the hospital, my dad was my major concern. My mom was the one who looked after my dad, who has mobility problems. While my mom was hospitalized, everyday life became a problem for my dad.

My parents have four children, but we all live in the capital area, far away from their home in busan. We took it in turns to visit them, but it wasn't easy. These days, a care worker comes to help them out. My mom will need at least four months to fully recover. I hope that she will make a speedy recovery and return to her happy daily routine.

 

  • I took a tumble in the snow. / Whenever I take a tumble, I try to act like nothing happened.
  • Even people who have mobility problems can visit.
  • I made a speedy recovery thanks to my husband. / I hope you make a speedy recovery. (I wish you a speedy recovery)
