No Fall On My Watch
Picture is courtesy of my sister-in-law. Story courtesy of me
So, Thursday a week ago I found myself with my father (age 85) on his walker and his older sister (age 90) on a walker as they toodle down the sidewalk of her 100 year old home. She is moving into a "home - yes assisted living", but has not cut the ties completely. I have the list in hand of items she desires (i.e. - afghan, black skirt, sweaters, scarfs,etc)
We manage to negotiate her impossibly steep steps and plop my dad on a kitchen chair. "Stay there."
She's slowly gathering things and then we actually go upstairs. OMG. I'm making a pile, advising her on items, and ultimately commandeering the seniors. We do get out alive and back to the senior "home" without anyone falling.
Success on my watch
Meanwhile, Friday - Ray heads to work in the rain, manages to crack his head on a roll-up door, and is (in my opinion) concussed. Can I not leave without an incident?
Seriously?
I'm back in TX to worry afar for my senior father and aunt. Meanwhile, I'm keeping an eye on Ray
Don't fall on my watch............
