Well, he earned his keep when Mom fell. Although he slept through her pounding on the wall & door (her bathroom door) & calling for help. I was watching some How To stuff on Youtube and initially thought the pounding was the bass from music or something from my brother's room. Then I thought maybe it was one of the dogs or cats thumping the wall while scratching themselves (they tend to do that thumping quite a bit). I heard another sound that I thought was the dog wheezing, but then I realized it didn't sound like his normal wheezing so I decided to go check. I'm pretty sure Fippy (the dog) heard her but he didn't alert or react. Princess was actually in the room with her when she fell and was going out of her mind. She was whining and shivering & really upset because she didn't know how to help. She kept going to the door and scratching but couldn't get out. Pretty sure she would have let me know.
Anyway, I woke my brother up and he was able to pick Mom up and get her back onto her bed. She wasn't hurt and was able to stand up again in a few minutes. She's a bit sore from the fall but is otherwise fine. She wasn't dizzy or anything, she thinks she just lost her balance due to her inner ear issues.
She asked my brother to take the kitchen trash out yesterday as it was overflowing. He pulled the bag out, spilling some of the trash on the floor, tied it off, and set it in the front room. He didn't pick up any of the trash that fell. I'll have to haul the bag outside later. I put a new bag in while he was still dragging the other bag to the front room.
We went to Samsclub & he had a really bad headache so he sat in the truck while I went and got the water cases & some stuff for Mom. An employee saw the cases when I was heading out the door and offered to help, so he helped me load the water up into the truck while my brother was asleep.
Last night I lost my balance in the hallway and fell, but I landed on some boxes. Bad coordination day. I tried to get a good sleep last night but Princess was out of her damn mind for some reason. She kept barking, grunting (sort of a little half-woof) & running back and forth over my bed-- stepping all over me. Then she kept sitting between my face and the desk fan while she barked at the window. I have trouble sleeping without air blowing on my face. I feel like I can't breathe. She started whining and doing the running back and forth thing, and then ran out of the room. Fippy kept snarling and snapping at her when she got near him & then he was barking with her.
Finally got her to STFU and go to sleep only to have the cats wake me up before dawn to tell me it was canned-food-o'clock.
Still need to get some work done on my truck but need to make sure there is a vehicle to use or something while it is being worked on.
I'm probably going to take a nap in a bit to catch up on sleep I missed last night.
