The nurse came out today. She voiced her concern about mom this week. The Physical Therapist was out yesterday, and caught mom twice during their session. She called the nurse to report, and informed her that, had she not been there she would have fallen. The aid that helps mom shower also commented on her balance, or lack there of. The nurse said she doesn't think mom should go to the bathroom, or anywhere without help. I told her mom will do it anyway. She talked to mom, and told her she needs to call for help on the pager if she needs to get up. Ten minutes after the nurse left, I pop in to check on mom, and she is rolling for the bathroom.
The shower aid was out tonight, and again she said mom got ahead of her and fell. She fell against the wall and the aid helped her up, so she didn't hit the floor. Still too close for comfort.
I don't know if she just doesn't want to listen or if she just forgets. Either way its stressful. I just keep wondering if today is going to be the day she falls and really gets hurt again.
