@jakedduck1 it must be so difficult for you, I’m sorry. Is your Mom on any new medication? Sometimes medications can add to confusion. Ask her doctor if she can use milder pain meds.
Ask about a gerontologist
Get a referral for physical therapy
Focus on safety for both of you
Take care of yourself!
Will you let me know how everything goes this week? Please

Yesterday I noticed I had flat tire. Had two nails in it. I called auto club and when he arrived his lug wrenches didn’t fit. This was a first. Also the wrench that came with my car didn’t fit??? So out comes a tow truck for a trip to the tire shop. Later the phone rings, tire can’t be patched, ok new tire. Then my Mom shrieks, “I cant stand up, and down she goes so I call 911. The paramedic says she has a UTI, Doc orders Antibiotics and I don’t have a car and can’t find anyone to pick it up. Tire shop calls, I need to send you a picture of your new tire, it’s not fitting right.
Insurance company calls, emergency grievance filed Fri not valid so file another one. That was the afternoon bad news, I’m not up to going over the morning bad news. I’m not going to answer my door or phone and pretend everything is fine.
Later,
Jake
