Hey, Jeff,
How old is your mom? Is she easy to talk to?
Yes, things can happen so quickly. If she doesn't like her caregivers "shadowing" her ---as when in the bathroom---things happen. I care for a woman with advanced Altheimer's 2x a week. It is a challenge. Some mornings or some days she isn't steady on her feet as at other times. I am careful that her shoes fit properly. Also they put a little rug in the kitchen that I think she has trouble with--so I tell them. But I am not the only one taking care of her. It's a patchwork of care.
It is true that time and unforeseen events do befall us. But we try to take care of each other--she will know you love her. That is always the greatest thing.
Take care,
Maeve
