Exclamation ((( Donna )))

hey there,

I'm sorry you have all this going on. I do hope Derrick feels better soon!

About your mom falling... repeatedly. I think is is worth looking into this. I would suggest getting her a neurological workup. Including a visit and an MRI for starters.

Often elderly people will say oh it was nothing and they must have tripped. Or lost balance... but the question is why is that happening...

I would hate to think she is having strokes or TIAs and that is why she is falling. If that is the case though, the sooner she gets some simple preventive treatment the better... before she has a major one that could do her permanent damage... or has a fall that damages her badly physically ... like breaking a hip or something... breaking anything is dreadful for elderly folks because they do not heal up as fast.

I wish you and all your family well Donna. Please keep us posted.
