mum fell

it's not a pleasant sight to see your mum fall right in front of your eyes. that was what happened last afternoon. it occurred when we were watching tv when mum decided to head to the kitchen. in no time, she returned with a plate of fruits. and as she was about to reach the sofa, her knees gave way and she fell forward, in front of me!

thankfully, she landed on her knees and apart from some slight reddening of her knees, she did not suffer any injuries. she complained that her knees felt weak and that caused her to fall. i observed her for the day and noted she was ok. and as expected, her whole body ached and by evening, she could hardly keep herself straight nor walk. she had to be helped from point to point.

she woke up this morning seemingly ok. and while she recalled falling, her account of the fall was way off. she told my sis she was rushing to the toilet and fell. otherwise, she continued to experience general weakness of her body and had to be helped around. let's hope she recovers soon. it is a little worrisome cos she has also been having symptoms of chest infections and had been coughing quite a bit. if things don't turn around, the possibility of the chest infection turning into pneumonia would be a very real one. 

and for her now, that would be really dangerous.
