Mother went down hard.

.

.

Took the dog for a walk.  She took off on her.  Mother wouldn't let go of the leash.  Ended up down very hard.  Glad I reminded her to take her phone.

I have learned, sometimes, to ignore what mom thinks, and do things more my way.  In this case, getting her up.  If not until we got her sorted, making sure we should move her.  Still not absolutely convinced, on that account.  May yet need to call an ambulunce.  I will leave that call with her, until or unless I have greater cause to set her wishes aside.

But, getting her up?  She doubts my strength.  I can lift her with one arm.  Strong, very.  No stamina, but strength I have.  My only concern is to not harm her in the lifting.  In this case, my way was the least injurious of options.  If all would have hurt her some.  Both arms were used as caution and care could be employed, not an urgent emergency hoist.

I did get her up.  Got her the walker.  And got her over to where she could sit.  I refused to chase after the dog.  It would return, in time, or not.  I simply won't play that game.  Nor drive around the neighborhood, calling for her.  No.

The dog did, in time, return.  She is tethered again.  If mother wishes to walk her, she has to learn to let go.  Or figure out how to brace, use the extension leash, or commands.  I think she thinks she can just handle the dog.  She simply can't.  And refuses trainig methods.  Training is clinical, she wants feelings.  I can't help who doesn't want help.

Had something coming up.  Don't think that is likely.  Will find out soon.  But, honestly, I think mom is down for a few days, or longer.  Maybe much longer.  I'll likely need to cook for her, bring her water, help her to the restroom for a few days.  IF I don't end up getting her to a hospital before this is through.

Prayers would be welcome.  I don't mind tending her, if, as, needed.  I have limits, but can make custard, soup, coffee, and other light food.  Bring her water, tea, painpills, and medicine.  And help her up.  If I will expect her to take it easy for a week, or two.

I can do light stuff, from time to time.  I just can't do heavy lifting, continuous, for a while.  She's not heavy, she's my mother?  ;p  Worried about the old girl.  Will help her as I can.  Get other help if needed. 

But, yes, will have to delay some procedures.  For a few weeks, a month?  Will see.  I... don't mind.  Good night.
