Oh, I see. Well, congrats to Ms.B then.

[TASMANIANRED]

It's amazing that I didn't break something.

That sounds like a superior arrangement to what I'm doing currently.

[luvie]

Yes, I can see where it would be.

A vacation from Lint Lady might be helpful, too! LOL!

[TASMANIANRED]

Time for me to go in search of a bottle of Aleve.

Night everyone.

[HiJinx]

Thanks, All....mobility seems to be THE issue right now. And as soon as my brother gets into town, I’m going to talk to him about installing a grab bar directly across from the toilet. We already got a taller toilet.

I’ve just now got him to his bed, and had my Mom get him a “bottle”. Maybe the third day will see some improvement. Right now he says he doesn’t trust his leg to hold him.

[MeekMom]

good grief Kathy.

I sure will be praying your Dad doesn’t lose his balance!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks....I’m hoping that one of my Mom’s friends will be able to help guide her thru the whats and hows of a walker and we can get that ASAP. (One of then might even have one.)I was able to retrieve an old pair of crutches from way up high in the garage. I don’t think I really want him on crutches, tho. Thank you for the prayers.

[HiJinx]

I think we still have a pair of walkers - I wish I could just beam ‘em up there for you...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Tanks, unique, for the WooHoo!!

HJ.....#250!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]
