This has been another hard month. Mother fell again one morning at 3:30am. I heard her moving around, started down the hallway, and heard the crash, bang, boom as I got to the bedroom door. I flipped on the overhead light to see her sitting on the floor. The caregiver was sleeping and jumped up, quickly wanted to put the gait belt on mother, wanted to get her up, and heard me say no we are calling 911 in case something was broken. I followed the ambulance that morning and we made a trip to the hospital, got home before 8 am, and found out she didn't break a bone and no bleeding in her head.
I've had caregivers out with sickness or other appointments for many weeks and have been doing most of the caregiving alone. I am praying daily that the Lord will send the help we need. Mother is mad and doesn't like anyone that enters the doorway. Today and tomorrow I am here alone with her. It makes a long, long 10 hour day when I can't leave to do anything. I have learned to stock up on medicine and food because I never know, but there have been a few times it has slipped up and I have been unprepared.
If you read this and haven't added your birthday or other family members birthdays, send them my way or add them if you have the permission to do so. I still wish more of you would post and add pictures.
