Slide Down

I got a call from one of the nurse of Park Bend today. She told me Mam was in the activity center, when suddenly, the activity directory noticed Mam “slided” down from her wheel chair to the floor. The nurse who called me had an accent and I had difficulties understanding her. She did not use the word “fall”. So my impression was that there was no injuries.

She wanted me to talk to Mam on the phone to see if anything was hurting Mam. Ugh, oh, I am not sure Mam knows how to talk on the phone.

But I did talk to Mam on phone. I asked Mam in Indonesian: “Mam, did anything hurt?”. She said “No”. I asked Mam, “Did you fall just now?”. She said “No”. So I am not sure if she actually understood me. But she was not hysterical, she was not crying.

But that was probably my first conversation with Mam on the phone since a long time.
