Mom fell today :(
One of the worst side effects of all of the chemo and medications is Mom’s instability. Falling is becoming a more and more common problem for us. Julie just got Mom a mini-fridge for her room so we could try to avoid her having to go up and down the stairs as often, especially at night. She has fallen down the last couple of steps several times now. But she had her worst fall today :( She was walking into the hospital and tripped and fell on the pavement. She is pretty badly bruised but luckily she didn’t break anything. It must be a common problem because the hospital always asks her about falling, if she has fallen recently, if she is afraid or worried about falling etc. I’m just concerned that its getting more common and she is going to really hurt herself. Has anyone else had this problem while on chemo?
