Margie getting adventurous

Two days ago Margie fell or rolled out of her bed, and discovered by staff right away, and they put her back into bed, examining her for bruises or breaks. They found no problems, but every 15 min. for the rest of the day checked her vital signs for any indication of any problem. I got there just minutes after they had put her back in bed. I called her hospice nurse and described what had happened. She checked her later and phoned me to report what she checked, and that Margie seemed fine. Today Margie was awake, and talked! Sortof. When I said loving words, a couple of time she clearly said, ‘uh-huh!’ Responded in other non-verbal ways as she often does.
