One of the biggest differences between psp patients and alzheimers is that when they lose balance. psp patients tend to fall backwards. . straight on their back. While alzheimers fall flat on their face. Its been about two years that my mother has needed full time assistance, thankfully we have had one helper during that period. Recently there is a new helper, and yesterday mama fell for the first time, thankfully it wasnt bad.

The funny part is that, while watching a football game my mom started giggling uncontrollably, i asked her whats so funny? She mumbled to me, “im lauging at when i fell yesterday” i was like . Hmm mama thats not funny, she looked at me and mumbled ” the new nanny fell on me too! ” lol, she then joked that her helper needs her own help, hehehe. My mom always had a wicked sense of humor, even with psp.
