Another Blip

Well it happened again last night. Fmom got up and fell again. This time she wasn’t hurt and she was more embarrassed than anything else. She would probably still be sitting on the floor if I hadn’t gotten up in the middle of the night and heard her. It took me about 30 minutes to get her up to bed. I keep telling her not to get up unless she calls me, but like anyone, she wants some freedom. So I’m going to have to figure something out so I can keep an eye on her during the night. First thought is to tie a string to her toe, but I don’t think she’ll go for that.

I go to see a specialist about my back tomorrow. I’ll be gone most of the day, so I’ve got to get someone over here for Fmom. She’ll be against that, but I can’t leave her alone right now. Last night when I got her settled down, I came back to check on her and she was crying. I asked her if she was hurting and she said no that she was mad. She said she was mad because of getting older and not being able to do the simplest things by herself right now. I told her not to worry because that is one of the reasons I am here.

I’m really looking forward to November now. I figure by that time everyone should be all right and things will be back to normal. We’ll see though.
