[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL admits that she goes up her carpeted stairs on her hands and knees and comes down sliding step by step on her bum. Why doesn't she sleep in the first floor bedroom with bathroom? WTF. She's sharp as a tack and generally healthy. I guess I'm glad she's doing that instead of risking a fall but seriously. [/quote] It's a good sign she has to common sense to do it safely. Mine claims to be all there, but will fall down some steps. They don't want to adjust and sleep on floor because that is accepting that you have aged to the point is needed. Even though she is aware enough to be safe, there is probably some denial too. That said, she is exercising her brain doing the motor planning to crawl up the steps.[/quote]
