most likely the amount of cumadin ( lol..sp) would not be that much. she might bruise very easy. and those will look nasty. it's falling and breaking bones..and those bleeds to worry about.

but tricks to help with bumping into things...

place thick towels on end tables. let the towel go over the edge for padding. same for coffee tables.

if she leans into bathroom counters or sins to say..bruch her teeth..used a rolled up towel as a bumper.

or if she leans on her elbows when eating...same thing.

my daughter..lil'monkey..her fathers mother took cumadin for years and years. i'll try and think of other things she did.

oh..her 4 wheel walker...there are roll type of pads you can get. like they use on bikes. or you can get the foam tubes to insilulate pipes..they slip right over the metal parts and are easy to cut to the length you need.
