[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 317394, member: 1963"] I'm sorry Abbey. I was kind of relieved to hear that my mother had been thinking about going into assisted living once things got worse (she's got spinal stenosis that will eventually put her in a wheelchair). I cringe everytime I think of her walking those stairs. Last year she fell in a parking lot and shattered one forearm to the point of needing a plate and pins put in, and fractured her kneecap as well. She insists she tripped over the curb because she wasn't paying attention to where she was going, but...at that age, you just don't know, Know what I mean?? When I go down for the holiday, she and i are going to rip apart and rearrange her huge 'linen closet' which is full of this n' that. She's very short and one shoulder has basically begun to freeze up due to the arthritis--she can't raise the arm over her head. I figure with my greater height and (comparatively) better reach, I can basically pull everything down so we can go through it, and then I'll put what she wants to keep back in the cabinet where she can reach it easily.
