Hey all…it's late, so probably won't get any responses (maybe someone in Cali or midwest is still up)- but real quick, I'm spending the night at my 88 year old mother's house - she was at the kitchen sink, went to get her walker and fell on the floor. (stroke 3 years ago, poor balance but can walk with walker). I was able to get her up, she seems ok, she's in bed now - my brother is at the store, she asked me not to tell him she fell - worried he'll make a big deal about it - but I've got to tell him, right? I'm thinking of asking him to not say anything to her about it, but I can picture him saying something to her - I don't want her to feel I've betrayed her - sorry this is somewhat incoherent, I'm still shaking - this is the first time she's fallen, don't know if it's a fluke but I know it's not a good sign. If I wasn't here, I don't think she could have gotten up.
