Another fall

She has fallen again, on Dec 31 in the evening. This time she was in front of her closet trying to rearrange some clothes.  She fell backward and hit her head.

Last time this happened, CLV called the paramedics and after they assessed her, she refused to go to the hospital.  I spoke to her, and she was coherent and seemed OK.  So, this time CLV didn't call paramedics (per mom's instructions). They called me and called Hospice. Hospice folks came out and assessed her and she was OK.

Over the last few days she has said she felt really really weak.  One day she said she had chest pains.  Yesterday I went to see her and she had been lying on her bed trying to get her pants on (she couldn't pull them up when she was standing); she got one leg in then couldn't manage the other.  She rang her button but no one came for 20 minutes as she lay there cold and frustrated.  She is just weak.

I still visit almost every day. We have little to say but it comforts her.
