Mom's appointment with the eye doctor was changed to Thursday. The doctor seems to be satisfied with Mom's progress even though she doesn't see too much out of that eye right now. The bruising from the fall is now down through the eye & below... she looks like someone gave her a shiner!!

I went with Mom & Dad to that appointment. We went to lunch first then to the office. It was all Mom could do to walk from one place to another. She was so winded that she had to stop to rest quite a lot even though it wasn't really all that far. Her feet are so swollen she can hardly get her shoes on. I had to help her with them today. She has next to no feeling in her feet which adds to the problems walking. I think her heart is starting to fail her too. Breaks my heart to see her like that. She is failing both mentally & physically.

Apparently she had another fall last night but didn't wake Dad to help her get back into bed. She spent the night on the floor. Dad has said that she has done that in the past too. Once again she was trying to either get to or back from the bathroom without using her walker. One of these days she is going to really do some harm & end up in the hospital again.
