Well, on the way back from San Fran doctor visit we stopped at a rest stop 60 miles from Reno, and Les took a nasty tumble. He is OK, but we are going to get his head Xrayed today, along with getting his teeth checked. He landed right on his face on the concrete. He is having headaches, and thinks he has a concussion. My question to you CALS and PALS, is how and when is it time to INSIST he(or she) do what you say. Such as not waiting to go to hospital, or the cane is not good enough anymore(use the walker or Powerchair all the time!) I think this fall has really scared him, and he may let me call the shots, but this could have been fatal. I want to let him have his independence, but I do not want him hurt. He is stubborn, and I felt it was OK to let him do as he wanted, considering all he has had to give up already, but enough is enough! Or is it? HUGS Lori:-D
