<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

OKC, OK My Mom is employed by family-owned house cleaning business with less than 15 employees, and suffered a hernia while cleaning a house. The problem is that the injury happen on a Tuesday, and my mom thought it just a pulled muscle above her leg. On Saturday my dad finally took her to the hospital because of my mom constantly throwing up where we discovered it was a hernia that required surgery. My Mom is right now recovering from the surgery, but is having issues that are keeping her in the hospital. Half the family thinks she should file for workman's comp while over half doesn't.

My question is should she file? She is consider a manager at the business, and did inform the owner that she was injured and going home. No there is no formal reporting process at her job for injuries on the job. 

Will filing workman's comp and it be covered put the owner out of business?

My Mom is a smoker and sometimes has coughing fits. I am unware if she ever be diagnosed with chronic disease for coughing. The other half of family believes that her coughing caused the hernia so it won't be covered. Is this true?
<bot>: Mom had hernia at work, but wasn't diagnosed till days later. Should she file for workman's comp? OKC,OK
