Likely turning point for Mom. Her neighbor called me saying that she couldn't reach her on the phone (this neighbor being the same age and unable to go over and check on her). When I got there I found her face-down in the middle of the living room, where I estimate she had been for probably 2-4 hours. I was relieved to find her warm and able to make some kind of response when I spoke to her, so I immediately called 911 to get an ambulance. It's only a mile from the fire station, so the EMTs were there quickly, and they were able to get her up, check her out, and trundle her off to the hospital. Tests all came back favorably, nothing specific wrong and no injury. It looks like she probably lost her footing when getting out of a chair, slid to the floor, tried unsuccessfully for a while to get up, and eventually wore herself out. She was able to walk a bit at the hospital, but everyone agreed that it would be a good idea for her to spend a night there and assess the situation in the morning. Doesn't look like continuing to live in the house by herself or driving the car would be good ideas, so the alternative plans that we've been discussing for a while are going to get accelerated.

Felt like the end of April again, and this time I spotted a robin out of the blue, so it looks like it really could be. For now, anyway.

Was planning on a run after work, but I'm dealing with what I'm hoping will be just a passing brush with a cold, and I figured it was wiser to take it easy and let it pass rather than to make things worse.
