The 92 year old ninja.
Today I was sitting in the living room with a resident at work, sharing some one on one time and giving her a manicure. I had my back to the hallway, but I heard a resident, who I'll call Ella, go down the hall. Ella has jingle bells tied to her walker and one slipper is loose so you hear a little flap noise when she steps with her left foot, along with the jingling. When she hurries she's a one woman band. She only weighs 79 pounds, but she's easy to keep track of. I knew Ella was heading to her room for a nap. I continued working on the manicure and talking to the other resident. Approximately 1 minute later a visiting nurse walked into the room and started to say hello, it came out as "helELLA!!!" I spun around and there, sitting calmly on the floor, about 2 feet behind me, was Ella. No slippers. No walker. Just Ella. I never heard a sound. Nothing. no quiet thud. No gasp of surprise. Nothing. I called for an aide and we checked Ella out, she seemed fine, we helped her up and got her comfy on the couch. I asked what happened, she said she had no idea, she went to bed and the next thing she knew she was on the floor. I asked why she didn't yell for help, she said "I was 2 feet from you, I didn't want to yell and startle you, but judging by the look on your face I startled you anyway didn't I?" Yes Ella, you stealthy little imp, you startled me.

 Lol - my 92 yo Mom fell last week, looks like hell (hospitalized but out now) and probably not that quiet even without her walker. Falls are a key health concern I know, but, she'd been lucky and still lucky since her head is fine, evn if the bruises look bad.

Falls are never a laughing matter. I've seen very serious injuries from falls. If there was an injury involved, I would have never blogged about it. This little lady's response was pretty funny though. I hope your mom recovers quickly!

 Maybe you should put a bell around her neck, if she's only 79 pounds maybe a cat collar.
