Everything OK your way?

I sent this to mylife earlier this evening.....

Home safe and sound. Just set up the ramp and Mom drove out onto the deck to check her flowers.

Emergency!! Just back. Thank God I have a baby monitor in the living room. I faintly heard my name. Ran out there...she had fallen. Called the gentleman next door, from Tibet and family in the huge quake. Next door is, maybe, assisted living. He said call any time. I did, he came fast, and got her into her chair.

How did you fall? Did you try to stand? NEVER try to get out of Reggie without turning him off. She is NOT supposed to stand without a hand rail if I am not here. GRRRR!!!! She’s fine, I think. Will check her later.

Ok, heart rate returning to normal. So much for my chiropractor adjustment yesterday.

And then not an hour later, I find her standing in the middle of the living room, WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TURNED REGGIE OFF. GRRRRR...it’s not been a good evening.

Good evening/morning, G2G...((HUGS))

I love seeing all troops at work, whatever their job. And they are trying to keep us free with little help from their own government.

Hope you had a great day. And have a wonderful Friday.

Thanks....I have 3 ibuprofen sitting on my sink and arthritis creme ready to slather on my hurting knees.

I put 2 glucosamine chondroitin pills and 2 ibuprofen pills in my Mom’s vitamin box for every morning, then give her the same at bedtime for her arthritis. And...thank you. I think I’m gonna crawl off to bed now. Well, walk gently. Can’t get on my knees.

Sleep when well you are ready. ((HUGS))
