Yesterday didn't go as bad for me during the day as I expected.  I just puttered around, and diddled with this and that.  Later in the day I was watching the Office.  I came upon the episode where they go through the box of complaints... when it came to Dwight's complaints against Jim, ... I cracked up laughing but I only got about one HA out when I started coughing... i coughed so hard,... well Lauren came running in the room, and I just kept coughing as it was being induced by my laughing.  Both Lauren and Steph said it sounded like I was dying.  Eventually I was able to get some air, but it was so worth it... I think that one scene is the funniest thing ever.

Oh, and I pulled a prank on Lauren, so to watch the Office, I used her X-Box, which you can watch Netflix.  Well, with the Xbox, when an episode ends you say out loud... "Xbox, next episode" and it advances (so stinkin cool) well, when Lauren got home from work, I told her something was wrong with the Xbox, and she is like "what is it", I said, "look.... xbox next episode" and nothing happened, she looked at me rolled her eyes and laughed.  The xbox can't work for someone with laryngitis... Mwahahahahaha!  I know my jokes can be lame, but that is what makes them fun... sometimes.

So I was really happy that I was feeling better (to some degree) which was clear to me as I was up to mischief.  But that all changed.  I had gone to use the bathroom and when I came back, Lauren and Colton were running out the door.  Mom had fallen out of bed.

She seemed to be shaken and she whacked her foot on her chair, but otherwise she was ok.  So now I am so heavy with worry today.  Last night I couldn't even pray, I was just repeating Jehovah's name over and over.  Then I sat and started watching videos on how to lift people off the floor... I found one that was helpful, but most of the ways you have to help them get to their knees and pretty much stand on their own.  Well, she has had knee replacements in both knees so she can't get on them anymore and, she can't stand on her own either... well, she can pivot on her one leg from her bed to her chair, but that is it.  I did see a really cool device that is a multi chamber air mattress (of sorts) more like a bench.  You have them adjust to get on top of it while it is flat on the floor, you plug it in and it slowly fills with air and raises them off the floor into the height of a regular chair.  It is a very gentle way to get them back off the floor.  

The stress of this event really knocked me down with my health.  I feel like I have gone back a few days.  I am now praying for the wisdom to find the help that mom needs.  I am going to try to do some more research today.  My fear is, if Lauren can't find anyone to help her lift mom, that Lauren knows how to do it properly so that they don't both get hurt.  I know if she just can't get her up, she would call 911.  I'm so glad Colton was here to help her/them.  

I have managed to keep up with my Bible reading and letter writing.  Even though I haven't been able to handle any physical workouts.  I just wanted to mention that as I don't think I have lately.
