I think we all as care givers all hold our breaths when we hear the word "fall" and our elderly parents in the same sentence. <br /><br />My mom has an en suite bathroom at her house with no door. When my cousins built an addition to their house for my aunt the removed the b/r door and put up a privacy curtain in its place. <br /><br />All doors removed in their B/R's after their first falls..<br /><br />I think Paula is brilliant, family restrooms are a wonderful thing in public venues!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204165708189660644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-495192690681293532013-10-08T23:08:50.131-04:002013-10-08T23:08:50.131-04:00Glad your dad is ok.

I can so picture the two of you debating over his next trip to the bathroom.<br /><br />As for Christmas, I'm the annoying sister who already texted her other sisters the countdown, a reminder of who is trading with who (we rotate) and already started my shopping.<br /><br />(Don't be impressed with the shopping. It's out of necessity because of my husband's current contract job he will likely be unpaid for the last ten days of the year so we're trying to spread the expense just in case.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515397829167775263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-17644408856040782892013-10-05T10:39:57.237-04:002013-10-05T10:39:57.237-04:00We have been dealing with caregiving for both side...We have been dealing with caregiving for both sides of our family...my mom and my mother-in-law. Sometimes it can be soooo frustrating when our parents refuse help. I get it though. They were the nurturers its hard to turn that around to let others take care of them. Hope your Dad feels better. Good luck with the new book. <br />ummm....donut picture---five golden rings?<br />Blessings, JoanneJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701170619308062747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-35463690509691089402013-10-02T22:47:18.181-04:002013-10-02T22:47:18.181-04:00Ok first let me say your dad properly doesn't ...Ok first let me say your dad properly doesn't want you to help in go to the toilet and who can blame him, but I get why you would be worried it is good that he wasn't hurt when he had his fall. <br /><br />Next donuts I know what Krispy Kreme donuts.<br /><br />Yes I am thinking about Christmas already only sent the girls a text last night asking if I gave the boys books with their names through them to them last Christmas, I did so that idea has been blown oh well good think I checked.Jo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-8445018131543027032013-10-02T19:53:41.199-04:002013-10-02T19:53:41.199-04:00Sounds like my dad's kind of logic, too.
