Welcome back!

Yes, I am concerned. My mother-in-law is in her 70’s. She is getting very shakey in her movements.

Recently she has gotten help from the state with a housekeeper, and a nurse who come by several times each week to help her. That is great, but I am still concerned. She is shakey enough that I find myself wondering which bathroom safety products she might need next. So far, she has a handrail attached to the tub for her to hold onto as she gets in and out. If she didn’t live in an apartment, I’d think about her getting a special tub that is more of a shower with low sides, but since it is an apartment, we are limited.

She does not want to go into a nursing home, and I do not blame her. She ended up there once when her blood sugar got out of sight. The hospital wanted her to go through re-hab to get in better shape. We keep track of her and call her and visit her often. However, we are not there in her home.

She recently got one of those necklaces that she can wear around her neck in case she falles and needs help. Thank God for that.
