I’ve just had one of the scariest moments of my life. My mom was in bed, restlessly dreaming, when she suddenly rolled out of bed and onto the floor between the bed and her dresser. It took us about 10 minutes just to get her back into the bed.

I’m just glad she’s not bleeding and is now sleeping relatively calmly, though I’ve probably lost ten years off of my life. How am I going to leave for work tomorrow, knowing it might happen again and nobody will be around to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself?
