Mom had another fall on Sept. 4. Dad called me about midnight to say the ambulance was just leaving to take her to the hospital. Mom ended up getting 6 staples in the back of her head.

Because of prior commitments, I wasn't able to get over there to see them until the 7th. I pulled in just as Dad was coming out to get more groceries out of his car. He said that Mom has had 3 other falls since the 7th. She is very concerned that we are going to put her in a nursing home & she is adamant that she's not going, although she does agree that she & Dad need more help than we can provide.
