Mom said "no way...I told you I don't like Yogurt....of any kind!!!!" I just told her "fine...clean up your own crappy pants". Sometimes .........

This morning I was on the phone with my good sister-in-law and walked in the kitchen to see how Mom was doing. She was leaned over picking something up and when she went to stand up...she fell backward. Mom hit the back of her head so hard on the linoleum floor. Even my sil heard it through the phone. I couldn't even get to Mom in time to ease the fall any.

She seemed okay, but I made her lie there for a few minutes. Then I let her sit up for a few minutes and then helped her the rest of the way. I almost couldn't do it and it made my back ache. I was here alone and finally got her up to a chair.

Tomorrow she wants to go to her house alone for the day. I asked her if she was nuts and she said "no, I haven't been for awhile and I'm going even if I have to drive". So..guess I'm taking her in. I told her that if something happens....she's not coming back to my house...she'll be going to a nursing home. It was hard on me lifting her and I just can't do that too often. I do try lifting the correct way, but it's hard when it's a person you're lifting.
