Bad night as he had another fall about 2:30am - this time he got a small cut on his head, which bled a lot as head cuts can. He spilled his night jar of pee all over the floor - so floor was covered with pee and blood! Yikes. Robin and I got that cleaned up, his head cleaned and bandaged. Once again he insisted that he didn't want 911 as he could get up himself. He wouldn't follow instructions as how to help himself - wanted us to pull him up - which we couldn't. Ignored his protests and called 911. They easily got him up and back into bed.

Monday's visit with the neurologist seems so far away! Praying they can give help and Bill will accept it. He refused the Home Health care our family doctor set up. For decades has refused to follow his doctor's advice. The 'rest you rust' kicked in big time.

Both Robin and I got sworn at during all this. Not new unfortunately as he has always been quick to anger.

Was a little difficult to handle. Have to figure a way to help him up without hurting us - or calling 911 every time. And without breaking closet doors lol.

Well, you really have your hands full and thank the Lord you had help from
Robin.

I’m glad you called 911, and I would make it very clear to your husband
that you will call for help every time he falls. He’s been fortunate up
until now, but one day he will have to be taken to the ER (911) because of
serious injuries.

Would he accept using a chair near his bed for his nightly duties? Or put
it in the bathroom, the closer, the better, and eventually move it into the
bedroom?

Prayers for you all.
