Speaking of falls the doctor told mum not to go down the steps anymore. Her legs are too weak. Mum just read me the riot act that she’ll go downstairs when she wants too! I told her that Mary the oldest lady in my fitness group isn’t allowed to go down the stairs either. She’s only 92 and in fitness classes and not on blood thinners. There’s not a lot I can do but worry.

I am sorry about your uncle. It’s hard to wait when you know someone will pass soon. I hope your family finds healing when he goes
Your mom sounds like my grandpa. He had dementia which I know your mom doesn’t have but he was quite ornery. In the last couple of years it was hard for him to walk but they have a split level house so he would insist on walking down those steps to sit in the living room. Which is all well and good, I get you need a change of scenery, but he would also insist on walking down the long flight of stairs to the TV room just for the hell of it. And he always said “you can’t tell me what to do in my own house!”
