We helped my Mum care for him and it was heartbreaking. You are right, falls happen so quickly. The last time Mum fell she just was turning to pick up something that she dropped and she went right over.<br />I am glad you enjoyed my photos.

My sister's house was too small for my Mum to have a separate apartment, we were due to be posted to Nova Scotia and my Mum didn't want to move that far so my brother offered to have Mum live with them. They were looking to move to a bigger house anyway so they found one that has an apartment set up in the basement.<br />She has fallen a few times over the last 20 years. The first time she broke her collar bone and then the next time a rib. We were very lucky this time.<br />Hope you are getting out and enjoying your milder temperatures!Cat Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504271572051737490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-24642937830130760312017-02-19T10:42:42.482-05:002017-02-19T10:42:42.482-05:00So sorry to read that your mom fell and hit the ni...So sorry to read that your mom fell and hit the night-table. We all worry about our aging moms, don't we. The aging process takes quite a toll. It's wonderful that your mom can live with your brother and have good caregivers. That's really the best scenario.
