I imagine that was scary! I always hold my breath when my MIL calls but it’s usually to remind hubby to pick up a prescription. The last few nights she’s been having trouble getting from her chair to the bed and spent Saturday night in the chair! I wish she HAD called then. But I’m sure she “didn’t want to be a bother”.
Be a bother already! Don’t do something that will hurt you! Sheesh! Last night at church her legs were really swollen. I guess hubby convinced her to call, because tonight she called to say she’d made it into bed ok. Now we’ll se if she can get back up in the morning.
I swear, if and when I’m in a bad spot, I’m going to be a pain in the butt rather than risk my health or make people fuss and worry!
Heck, we’ve gotten those calls so many times, we don’t get too freaked out when they call. BUT, at 100 years old, there’s always that chance it’ll be “The Call”. This evening, it was the usual.
Oh my gosh! Yes, she needs to be a bother! Since she called tonight, maybe y’all got that through to her. Sure hope so!
Glad you got your MIL to check in....this is not fun.
