Today, after 3 hours of sleep, I had to rush to my grandmother's house because she fell and couldn't get up. An embarrassed, half-naked old lady, a very wet rug, an ambulance and a trip to the hospital later, and she still refuses to use her cane and walker. I hope I'm not this stubborn when I'm old. FML

OP here~ Yes, she's okay, no injuries, and for those of you saying, "Get life alert" - She already HAS life alert but refuses to wear it...Her stubbornness has no limits. She would rather have her family worry and put her life in jeopardy than lose her pride and "independence". We're gonna see about in-home care so that we don't have to worry all the time. Thanks for all the support~ :) I can only hope that one day my grandmother comes to her senses, what little she has left.

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

Since she refuses life alert and walker, just call 911 from home next time. You have to take care of yourself first.

One of the reasons my granny started using her walker, was that someone pointed out to her that it would be easier for her getting snacks and stuff to and from the kitchen. Her walker is one of those that you can turn around and sit on. So she can get a snack or whatever, put it on the seat and push the walker around. We're happy that she uses the walker, she's happy that she can still do something for herself. Just wanted to put that out there so maybe it can help some of you all with your loved ones. :)

A lot of old people won't use a cane or walker because of pride. Pride means nothing when one's quality of life declines.

Just let her die and you won't have to deal with her anymore :)
