She doesn't know if it's that the home health aid didn't roll up her pants legs enough or if it was newspaper that fell off table. Brother had to help her up. The health aid doesn't dry her enough. She is still damp. The first time she told aid she was still damp. You can use another towel. She didn't mind. This is the second time she came out. It happened again. Mom said give me towel and I will get myself dryer. I have posted asking how to distance myself from mom. My instincts tell me to drive up there and pin up a couple of her slacks. Then take them to be themed. But I don't want to chance sliding on ice. Since I have to drive back roads. Plus I am emotionally exhausted from her. I don't want to do it. She can ask the lady that does her laundry to pin up and take to be them a few slacks at a time to be themed. She might do it if mom pays her to do it.
Of course mom would come up with a list of reasons why that won't work. I'm so sick of her. That I don't care much anymore. I will visit her in the hospital if she hurts herself.

I know all about those pant legs. Clothes manufacturers don't realize that when a person is petite in size, the person will continue to get shorter and shorter as the years ago by. My Mom was always rolling up her pant legs as petite sizes for length were still too long for her. Got to a point where I started to buy her crop pants which are shorter, and those fit pretty good, except for cold ankle complaints :P
Does your Mom use a walker? If not, then she needs to start learning to do so.... I know easier said then done... my Mom refused a walker big time. And her final fall was her last fall :(
