Over the past two weeks Jan has fallen twice, once very hard and hitting the back of her head, the other time she fell back against the wall which saved her from hitting the back of her head again, then she just kind of slid down to the floor. Certainly we have been very concerned about her head. I went out and found a protective helmet that is used for cycling. It didn't look so bad so I thought I would give it a try knowing that she would probably want to take the things off, but surprisingly she has kept it on now for two days and it seems like it might work. Funny thing about these places, I don't think I have heard even one comment from the other residence and Jan seems to be okay with it at this point. I will try and get a picture up soon of her in the helmet.
This getting old stuff is really for the birds. Seems like I can't get a much done as I use to and it seems like I have heard that from other seniors. Imagine that.
