You don't even have to go out side. My dil mother, she is early 90's. Lives in a care place in her own apartment. They go to eat in the dining room. Well she fell sometime in the night maybe getting ready for bed as she didn' t have any clothes on and laid there all night. When she didn't come to breakfast they checked on her and there she was on the floor. Black and blue and all. Of course to the hospital and checking for any bleeds to cause this. She gets dizzy alot. I don't think she should be in that situation now, maybe needs to go to the one that takes care of you. She doesn't want to as you feel it is on the down hill slide now. Checking again today how things are going now. My husband does things outside, going on 84, He has had two stints for years and had heart bypasses (4) in 1984. Does more than he should and can hardly get in the house some times. Just thinks he has to do and he doesn't. It can wait some to the next day. Example-----Yesterday, we have had alt of strong north wind. Night before a limb broke off on the neighbors fence about 10 at night. They pulled it off the fence and he was going to cut it up for us when he came home from work. Well hubby put together the extension cords, under the fence and cut it up with the aligator saw. Back over the fence went the wood, and brush. I hauled the wood pieces up with the wheel barell and the brush, the last brush one stacked way high and heavy, I wanted him to leave it out here and we could take care of it today. No have to get it on the burn pile. So he did it. Just won't wait. It is a good thing on a job you are getting paid for, finish up, but when you are here every day, some things can wait. It is good he does these things I just wish he wouldn't put himself in such pain doing them. But he is up and at it again today.

Yes this is so true  and that is why I have now decided to wear my cell phone with me all day when I am up. My beloved sister-in-law lived in a wonderful place where she had her own apartment and when she did not come down to breakfast they checked on her and found her dead on the floor.           She was a wonderful person who had two brain tumors and one was removed and the second one was inoperable.  However she took care of  my Brother for years until his death from Parkinson Disease.  I admire this woman so very much. Your husband sounds a lot like mine.  Annette. ________________________________ From: Louise Valine <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [ML] It is me again.
