Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 hi susie, welcome to our family although i am sad that you had to look for us. feel free to ask any questions, yell, scream, cry, tell stories, whatever you need to help you thru this ordeal as for the falling out of bed, there are several reasons, it may happen when they get up in the middle of the nite and are a little disoriented as to where they are in the bed and just roll off when they trip to sit up. or another common thing that lbd patients have is called RLS or RBS, restless leg syndrom, or restless bed syndrome. the first is where our lo (loved one) legs constantly move or twitch around at night. or the latter being where the whole body is twitching and moving, arms may thrash, they may kick and even yell out, and in doing this not know where they are in the bed. this is just 2 of probalby many situations that may cause them to fall out of bed. hope this helps, hugs, sharon m -- Daugher of Leonard, diag May 2004, had lbd since 1993, had hip surgery from fall 7/05, aspiration pneumonia 7/05 with pulmonary embolyis, had aspiration pneumonia and uti 8/05, died of blood pressure drop on 9/25/05, may he rest in peace with his mom and dad, a smile a day keeps the meanies away ---- S McQueen wrote: I'm new -- have been reading through some of the old messages, and see some about people climbing out of bed. My Dad is still at home alone, but has fallen out of bed several times . . . that has confused me -- how does one 'fall out of bed'? Is this something others have found common? I wonder if it's just a spacial orientation thing - not being aware of where he is in the bed?? Thanks, Susie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
