For the last week Karen has been gone on a trip and Diane has been taking care of Grandma during the day. I have been going over every evening to help get Grandma into bed and give Diane just a little social time.
We discovered that the easiest way to get Grandma all the way onto her bed is for me to stand on the bed and help her slide back. I pick her up under the arms and we go back about 10 inches. So far this has worked quite well with no problems. Tonight we had one small difficulty: When I placed my feet, I put them farther forward than usual. The result was that, as Grandma came backwards, my balance shifted and I fell on my butt behind Grandma with a loud squeak! We were all fine, although I was sure Diane was going to die from laughing at me. Grandma wanted to be sure I was alright and then laughed as well. It was an adventure for sure!
