Luckily she didn't break anything, wasn't concussed. By the time I left, she was very mobile. We fixed some food, and talked out heads off. I felt like she was doing well, improving rather than no change or getting worse. We started a morning circle when Covid started, and text every morning, too.

I hear you about falling. I keep all of my rooms and steps clear, and make sure I'm holding the stair rail. We installed rails in the bathroom for my Mom and really glad they are still in place. And also, a o.t. came out and assessed any risks for my Mom when she was with us, and I have adhered to their suggestions ever since. I turn a light on, or make sure where I'm walking is visible. So far, so good :/
