Popular Post Wilbur ★ Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 3, 2022 My sister in law's 96 year old father over-stepped the first stair on his way down to get his newspaper. He hit all 18 of them until he got to the bottom. A mild concussion, a cracked rib, some stitches on his head and some bruising kept him in the hospital for one night. The next day he was downstairs having breakfast like nothing happened. 2 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted January 3, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 3, 2022 I have a stair lift if I ever need it. I’d like to get it out of the way but I’m not getting any younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan ★ Posted January 3, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 3, 2022 My 89 year old mom lives alone in a bungalow with a basement. She has been getting noticeably less stable on her legs lately, so arrangements have been made to get her help for things that require going the stairs. She does not go to the basement any more unless there is someone there to go with her, and she has a neighbor girl to do the laundry for her. We got her a Lifeline fall alert a couple of years ago, so that gives us some peace of mind. However, my brothers and I are in the process of figuring out ways to get her more support so she can stay in the home she loves for as long as she can. The second oldest who just retired last year is floating the idea of selling his current house and buying hers and moving in with her. I love this idea for several reasons, and I do hope it happens.
