I arrived in Winnipeg only to find out that my mother had fallen a second time last Thursday, and had been taken to hospital after laying 20 hours on the floor, as she was too confused to push her lifeline button. She has a compression fracture of her lumbar spine and will probably not be able to return to her suite where she was living before the falls. I cancelled my flight home for tomorrow and will be staying in Winnipeg as long as it takes to sort her placement arrangements. There are long wait lists for beds here, just like there are in every province. I have the same cold I had almost gotten rid of before I flew out. My mother has a cat so it looks like I am getting a 3rd cat. lol! Carole
