Long story made short: she got sick a couple of years ago, we moved her to SI so she could have a ground floor apt. with no steps, she got worse

and no longer can be left alone. She fell a few month back and was on the floor for 12 hours because she couldn't get up. She also refused to wear the medical alert device we got her which would have got her help immediately. UGH!!! She got a bit hurt and was in the hospital and then rehab. That's when we decided she couldn't live on her own anymore and so she's living with my sister.
She has a home health aide but she's away so I'm stepping in this week.

I knew about the fall and the stubbornness (why are parents so stubborn?) - ty97 Aug 30, 07:41 7
- Thank god my mother is being reasonable (she is having falling issues too) and now is wearing a smartwatch with fall detection - decline Aug 30, 07:53 2
  - Nice to hear she's good with wearing it but so sorry she had that fall anyway. I hope she's okay and didn't do any real damage. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 30, 08:00 1

- My sister is out on LI which is slightly better but still not near civilization. I can't even get delivery to her house and there's no walking - Krusty Aug 30, 07:45 3
  - That's...what...no sister, no! -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 07:46 2
    - The house is gorgeous and the backyard overlooks the North Shore but it's so far from everything. - Krusty Aug 30, 07:52 1
