Another Fall

Over the last few days, Mom has gotten braver and braver. I ask her to call me if she needs anything, and she tells me she will. She waits til I walk out, and up she goes. Well tonight I leave long enough to run out to the garage, and as soon as I do she gets up to open her window. While trying to open  it she falls backwards. The walker went flying one way and Mom the other. She had taken her help pendant off her neck and couldn't get to it. I walked in right after she fell, and immediately started to look her over. Mom says to me "I'm fine and I don't need checked". I looked her over anyway, and told her she's luck to not be injured and that I should make her go to the hospital just in case. This statement did not go over well, and Mom, very excited, told me she was not going to the hospital. Luckily, she does seem to be fine. I do know that this scared her quit a bit. She told me shes not getting up without calling again. I hate to tell this poor woman who has been so independent her entire life, that she has to call someone to basically do anything, but its the only way to keep her safe. PSP SUCKS!!!
