Dad fell this morning. 😔 Once again, we are still lucky that nothing was broken, but we had to call 911 for help getting him up. I am still just super exhausted and painful myself trying to keep the plates spinning… #SpoonieLife
HOWEVER, I was happy to look back on Jo‘s page and find April‘s #roll100! I am very excited for Tornado, especially since we‘re headed into tornado season here. Looking forward to reading a few of these!
Cinfhen Sorry to hear your dad fell…again 😫I remember I liked Tornado Weather but I really can‘t remember anything about it anymore #NoRecall 13mo

BarbaraBB I am sorry your dad fell again. Does he use a walking aid? It‘s still such a lot for you to deal with. I enjoyed Tornado Weather too. Now off to find #Roll100 April. 13mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB he does. Quad cane is the American term. A bit more stability than a regular cane, but he was in the kitchen making breakfast without his leg brace on this morning. Naughty. He caught quite a lecture from mom for that! (She‘s mastered lectures as an oldest sister/teacher/mom, and when I told her it was enough lecturing, she said, “I‘m not lecturing; I‘m telling him how to do it right.” Still unsure how that‘s not a lecture. 🤔🤣) (edited) 13mo

AshleyHoss820 Falls can be so scary. I hope everyone is doing well! 🧡 13mo
Singout So sorry: I‘m a spoonie too, although I don‘t live with my folks. My dad fell, although he doesn‘t know why, a few days ago, and has been in the hospital for heart monitoring. He‘s quite chipper, but it‘s still stressful. Sending support. 13mo
dabbe @Megabooks They're just starting to bloom! 🥰 13mo
Centique Oh your poor dad and I feel for you and your mum too. It is so frightening when they fall and so hard to get them up unless you are well and strong yourself - even then you may need two people! Best wishes for a stress free week to recover 💕 13mo
Megabooks @Centique thanks so much Paula! I know you have a lot of understanding about elder care. 💜💜 His physical therapist taught him a way to get off the ground, but I wasn‘t there when she did, and he couldn‘t remember how. I tried to help him, and I wish I were strong enough just to pull him up myself, but I‘m not. I‘m glad our ambulance service here is very nice and not usually busy. 13mo
Megabooks @dabbe fantastic! Enjoy!! 13mo
Megabooks @Singout I‘m so sorry! It‘s really scary when you don‘t know what‘s wrong. I hope you can figure it out and fix it. Thank you for the support!! 💕 13mo

Bookzombie I‘m sorry about your dad‘s fall and the stress. Taking care of our parents is so hard. My FIL has one of those walkers that has the seat. It sure comes in handy as he can sit anywhere when he needs to. 13mo
Megabooks @Bookzombie truth 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I love those rollators, but the way dad‘s foot has frozen in stroke spasticity makes it difficult. (It‘s turned out like ballet first position.) so when he‘s tired he uses a mobility scooter. It‘s too bad because he‘s much faster with wheels. He loves walking with a cart in grocery stores! 13mo
UwannaPublishme Falls are so scary. So glad your dad is okay. Sending hugs and 🙏🏻 13mo
Megabooks @UwannaPublishme thank you so much! 💜 13mo
