I will be trying to rest and relax....we will be starting 24 hour caed hopefully starting with the night shift on Monday evening.
Mom fell out of bed (?), just fell, she doesn’t know, but about 3:30a I was awoken by the Medical Alert box alarm and then, Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! I was able to tell them, when they spoke, that we had things under control. She doesn’t know how long she was on the floor, but thank goodness she still knows to push the button. Had to call Karma again.
I already had an appointment this afternoon to see about “day” care, but my sis and I decided that this night stuff can’t continue. She just cannot be alone, even at night. I need sleep and I can’t get her to call me when she needs to get up. I’ve been up since 3:30a. I’m thinking I need a pad on the floor that bongs when feet touch it.
Glad to hear you went ahead with the 24-hour care. It’s time since she’s falling day and night. I’ve been worried you’d hurt yourself getting her up even with Karma’s help.
Less stress during the day at work and you’ll be able to sleep for a change! WOOHOO!
You’ve gone above and beyond for your mom and it’s time to take a break and let someone else do the heavy lifting.
Time for some YOU time. :-)
