I want to know...

...can I put my 57 year old (today's her birthday) mother in a nursing home?!  I think she'll be thirty years younger than everyone else, but maybe she'll be safer?  She accidentally fell last week.  She's okay.  But I'm not okay!  In December she fractured her skull and suffered a traumatic brain injury, which is healing still.  I worry about her.  Mothers are supposed to worry about their sons- that's normal.  This son doesn't like worrying about his mother- I don't want that to become normal.

At least my mother gets up after she gets knocked down- figuratively and literally.  Happy Birthday mom.  I love you.  Now, don't accidentally fall down any more.
