My goodness, you are dealing with a lot, Is your wife going to rehab or home? Do you know how she fell? When my loved ones started falling it continued…..soon thereafter there was no mobility.

My wife came home. She fell because the blood pressure dropped suddenly from parkinsons. It drops maintly from the sinamet she took to combat tremors. I knew it could happen. It has happened a few times. You can be talking to her walking about the house and she drops literally like a rock. Straight down often losing consciousness briefly. She fell backwards onto her rear and her elbow. I let my guard down for just a few seconds and didn't catch her. No more freedom of movement for her. I know it will not get better.
