Oh Janet, I am so sorry. Thank goodness mom is alright

Brads grandmother fell about a week ago down her basement steps. She has bad knees that she has had replaced and she has a hard time getting up because she is over weight. She told us she had been at the bottom of those stairs calling out for at least 20 minutes and no one heard her Her min pin was shut in the living room going crazy listening to her calling out!
She said she crawled to the bed she has down there and eventually got herself to her feet.

It is normal to experience a combination of shock, helplessness and guilt when these things happen to our elderly loved ones.
