Shit, Doctor Online. Good luck with getting legal advice: I think that should be a pretty straightforward case you have there. Try talking to the union, as well - is your mother a member? They might be able to help out - they'll certainly be able to give advice as to where to go for this sort of thing. That's part of the union's job, I think.
Patrick, that sounds like a slamming day.

Thanks guys, my brother and I teamed up together .. basically mom is getting better composure, she's fully aware of what's going on now and actually wants a lawyer to pursue even to just make sure all future medical is taken care of (which when we gave her a run down of what medical will cost, she realizes that no matter what, she's going to be hitting their pocket pretty damn hard). Today, after my work and after his school, we're going to be making some phone calls to our dad, who is advising mom to not even get a lawyer to represent her to be sure she keeps her job. Basically, we have to knock him out of his 1970's company loyalty bull and bring him up to modern times. The world doesn't work that way anymore, Walmart doesn't see a loyal employee, they see lawsuit, and liability.. basically a thorn in their paw.
I'm doing my best in respecting my mom right now, and this is probably the most public I've taken this story. I hope she pursues, and brings this to the public. This isn't the first time it's happened (same store). I'm not quite sure what happened to the other woman, I just know the end result was her in a wheelchair, and she has since passed away. I do not know if her passing had anything o do with her age, or with her accident. But unlike mom, she didn't have an accident report filed. At least mom has that.
I can say, and I'm very vocal about it now. I will never... set foot into another Walmart. Ever. Again.
All I want more than ever is sleep. One real nights worth of sleep. I hope now that I know my mom is doing better I can have that tonight.
On the bright side, my dad got her a puppy (Chinese Crested Powder Puff). She's like a little girl with him, posting all kinds of cute pictures. They named him Wyatt Earp, I talked her and dad into it. My boyfriend and I are going to get a Schnauzer and I'm pretty much set his name will be Doc Holiday... and occasionally I WILL give him a handle bar mustache. But mom's had Wyatt for two days now, and he is the most spoiled dog ever, but so precious. I'm really happy that dad let her get a puppy, I think it's helping her cope with her head injury better. I mean, wouldn't finding this cuteness asleep like that make your heart melt?
