I just got in from shoveling/blowing snow and my elderly mom was choking on pieces from a grapefruit. Worked.
Good deed for today.
Some time ago, I found her on the floor in the kitchen, just after I had gotten up. Months earlier she ended up in the hospital after blacking out at a local fast food joint. Docs were baffled: We don't now what happened.
The second time it happened, I was able to take vitals: BP, P, blood sugar and discovered a very unsafe low blood pressure and pulse. Delt with that until she was stable and then took her into see her doc about 5 hrs later and reported my findings. One BP med was eliminated at that time.
