My mother crashed into my dad, who had just had surgery, and they both fell down and couldn’t get up. My dad finally inched on the floor to the phone and called for help. My mom had broken her hip. After that I bought one of those necklaces for my dad in case of another emergency.
We got a call at 1am from my mom. Dad had fallen getting out of bed to go to the bathroom, she had worked for an hour trying to get him up before calling us. They were both so apologetic for bothering us. Dad had twisted his ankle, just glad it wasn’t worse.
