[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3936881, member: 7900"] More folks to pray for, and I'm dang happy to do it. We got our refrigerator installed, and according to the installers, what little food we had can go into it at around 8:00 pm. Not starting the ice maker thing until we get back from visiting my sister in Amarillo. We head for there in the morning, and my niece texted me and stated that my sister fell again. She stated something to the effect that the "care center" couldn't use bed rails because Texas seems to believe that those are a form of "restraint." They are trying to get my sister "transferred" to my niece's home, even though my niece has a shoulder immobilized and will find it difficult to help her much. I've had reason to wonder about Texas before, but this one kind of baffles me. What is wrong with trying to prevent someone from falling out of bed or falling because there isn't anything there to assist one in getting up? [/QUOTE]
