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.
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day! Maybe an anti inflammatory with a little food before bed? Won’t wake up so sore...
Oh, Kathy! How awful for both of you! She doesn’t seem to be able to remember instructions, which is so dangerous!
I hope you get another adjustment soon! Lifting a person who can’t help is hard on the back. I’m glad hubby has gone to help his mom. He’s strong enough...though I miss him here.
WOW, you had an eventful day, yesterday, didn't you?
I hope you both are doing well this morning.
I know you were in panic-mode yesterday but
could you de-code

Next door is, maybe, assisted living.
for me? LOL
And the hits just keep on coming!
There are several of us here at my office who are in what’s called the sandwich generation - taking care of both kids and parents. The challenges seem to be neverending.
