Thank you. > Edward Arden Eddy I don't have anything to offer in terms of overcoming this problem but please take it seriously and do everything you possibly can to prevent these falls. My wife is currently in convalescent care completely unable to move and this is the direct result of falls and the complications that can occur from them. She cannot swallow and communication is extremely difficult and we are curently awaiting a bed so that she can get some ECT treatment. It is not my intent to scare you but only to make you aware of the consequences of falls and so that you may avoid the feeling of helplessness that I am experiencing on a daily basis when not only can you not help but cannot understand what yor wife's needs are. Fortunately she is being well cared for by people who love her almost as much as I do, they are absolutely wonderful to her and I thank God for them. Sincerely Derek Pocock Parksville Canada
