Ok, my Mother who will be 71 in September has fallen 3 times in two weeks.
NOT GOOD.
She now has a irregular heart beat. Slow, weak...
She may need a pace maker but is use a this time.
So the first time she lost her balance and fell near the door way on her way out. She craped her knee but that was it.
Next, she fell asleep on the throne, and when she woke up, she went head first into the tub. She stated her legs went to sleep and she lost her balance when she stood up due to this. luckily she did not hurt herself, but has bruises on her shoulders and arms. She was grateful.
Friday morning/ Thursday night...
getting out of bed, she stated she doesn't remember falling, just she stood up, and then she was on the floor with all the things from her dresser on the floor with her. She.....is black and blue on her chest and stomach.
today she says....I don't understand why I'm losing feeling in my legs, and my feet. Its weird. all of a sudden it just loses feeling and thats when I am most likely to fall.
She talked about getting a two bed room apartment with a friend, bu she is reluctant due to this friends "problems" of following through. I don't want to move her again.....its hard on her and me....and cost money to boot.
Good god I cant do this again. Its been three years since my Father.
I know we might have her get a pacemaker soon, but any suggestions?
I really need help.
