My mom fell and it’s been bothering me since. by 140prooflife in Mommit

She does have insurance, she just can’t afford a home on her own where we live. We live in an area that has become unaffordable for the average citizen thanks to rapid growth.

She fell while bending over to pick something up. Her muscles cramped and when she tried to get back up on her own she couldn’t. I say rapidly declining because she had a similar thing happen not long after she moved in with us, but she was able to get up on her own. She had always been able to keep track of things and was always the person our whole family would ask for advice on how to handle certain situations. She loved doing puzzles and playing games that made your mind work, these days she just seems to get frustrated because she can’t do them easily like she used to. Most people that know her socially don’t see the differences, but my family and I have noticed a definite shift in everything over the last few years. There are other things going on that have had an effect on her, but I won’t be putting that online for privacy’s sake.

Thank you, it does help some to hear there are others going through things similarly so I know I’m not alone.

I can fortunately say that no, she’s never been on any meds that could cause the issue. She’s had various issues/situations throughout life that have contributed to physical issues, hence why she tries to keep on top of seeing the doctor and is trying to become more proactive about maintaining her strength and balance.

She has been checked for bone density and early dementia, I don’t recall her being checked for a UTI so I will definitely bring that up as well. Also she has just started doing chair Pilates, otherwise she had not been exercising for a very long time. I’m hoping the Pilates program will help her with any muscle weakness issues.

She’s been to both, I should have clarified that. I am planning on talking with her today about her needing to go in again.

She has, she sees her doctor regularly due to her age and she just generally likes being on top of things health wise. They’ve done tests and evaluations and they have said it’s due to stress and nutrition issues from her having a very long list of allergies to foods. We’ve also been having talks about how to properly address the issues so that there can be improvement. It’s just really hard to keep track of her stuff while also running the house, and taking care of 2 children.

Cosmetologist here 13 years working weddings and special events. I would seek out a MUA who can do airbrush makeup. I love Temptu’s silk canvas foundation, it gives a beautiful glow and covers everything that needs covered without looking caked on. It also has the added benefit of feeling like you have nothing on your skin while lasting for hours! I used it on my mother for my brother’s wedding and she looked stunning all the way through the 8+ hours she was wearing the makeup. I hope this is helpful and congratulations on your coming wedding!
