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.
