We Have Nothing to Fear...

and Mom is so afraid of falling she won't get out of a wheelchair.  I know she can do it because she did it in the nursing home.  Yes, the accident last night didn't help, but it did not create the problem.  There is a part of Mom that is too scared to move her butt out of the wheelchair.  It's driving me crazy, and I do not know why she id doing this.  It can't be doing her any good.  What can she gain from being so passive?

At least I am not falling apart like the last time.  As a matter of fact, I want to try some risky behavior:  have her move from her wheelchair to the bed, so I can change her adult diaper.  If she gets scared , it is back to the bed, but I don't know what else to do.

It's almost as though she wants to stay in the nursing home.
