Today was our rest day. We had been going to the gym, hiking and biking for the last 6 days.
We decided to rest today for our next gym visit tomorrow.
Our home phone has a "silent" mode.
My mother is turning 90 in January and she has one of those emergency buttons. My sister lives with her as her caretaker.
When we woke up, we saw that we had a message from 4am. It was from the emergency button people.
I called my sister and found that my mother had fallen on her way to the bathroom and my sister was having difficulties helping her up so she hit the button. In short order help was there and they took my mother to the emergency room to check her out.
They did bunches of tests including blood tests and a CT scan.
She was uninjured and healthy.
My Mother is 'bout 4' 11" and just a bit over 100 pounds so she didn't have far to go and didn't hit too hard.
My sister is healthy but skinny and an avid cyclist. She knows she is weak but figures that you don't really need much upper body strength to ride a bike.
This is from a bike tour. She's the skinny one in the blue sleeveless jersey, I'm the good looking tan muscular fellow in the red tank top with my wife.
My sister just put in for retirement so she can care for our mother better and have more free time for herself.
My wife was a home health care aid and knows some stuff about helping to move people with difficulties.
We're gonna visit next month.
