An Unhappy Coincidence

Display at the Mall

Our newspaper delivery man left us a card one morning. It said he would be on vacation soon. We usually leave him a small tip in his card every year, so I was sure to put it out early enough so he could receive it in time!

Within the past week or so, in an unhappy coincidence, my mom fell out of her bed one morning, and so did husband M's mom at their separate residences. It might be time for them to get bed rails, or use them if they already have them. Fortunately, they were both okay.

My mom also fell out of her bed a few years ago. After that, we removed the bed stand so that the height of her bed is a lot lower. That would make it more unlikely for her to hurt herself. It's hard to protect them from everything though.

Before his departure my late father fell from the second last stair and broke his ankle .inspite of all medical cure he could not be normal and stick to the bed in his seventy plus age .he left this world by suffering this misery .
hope and pray that your mom may not have such accident ever.amen.

sorry about the falls. My mom fell (not out of bed, though) over a year ago and it took her months to recover, but we were lucky nothing was broken.

Falls can be dangerous, so bed rails sound like a good idea. Have a good start in the new week, hugs, Valerie

I'm glad both of your mothers are doing fine. Maybe it is time to consider investing in bed rails. No one likes losing their independence but sometimes you need some help.

I'm glad they're both okay, Christine, although it does sound like more safety measures are needed.

Oh, i sure hope they didn't get hurt. We only have a p.o. box in the mountains, no home delivery of mail. We use to leave something for the trash pick up guys when we owned a house. We always had at least four big barrels of yard waste ..(ugh so much yard work back in the day - yard was too big). For some reason we haven't done it where we live now. leave a tip that is.

I do like the Christmas display at the Mall.

Sorry to read about both moms and glad they are ok.
Perhaps it may be time to start thinking about safety rails?.

All the best Jan

Yes, it would be best to buy them bed rails.
