am I just worrying too much?

[JesusSufferingFuck22]

I called my mum who is in her late 70s last night and there was no answer. She doesn't go out often at night because of her eye sight but is still pretty active.
She just had her 2nd cataract done a couple of weeks ago.
I left a message saying I'd call her later or today. I usually call her about 8.00pm 2 or 3 times a week.
I called again tonight, multiple times. Still no answer.

I've messaged my brother and sister. DB doesn't remember her saying she was going out but said he can't pop down because he's at home alone with his wee boy. I've not heard back from my sister yet. She is likely stuck at work.

I'm disabled and live in another town. My dh has had a drink so can't drive and we don't have a key for her house anyway.
She's probably been invited to a friends for dinner or something and they've come and picked her up or she has something on at the church.
I'm just imagining all sorts because I can't physically go and check she's ok.
I'm going to phone again in a few minutes. If she's still not answering what can I do?

To be honest I wouldn’t have left it 24 hours with someone in their late 70s with vision problems.

If you don’t know any of her neighbours to contact/really don’t know anyone who can go and check on her, you can call 101 and ask them to do a welfare check as you are concerned although that may take a while as it’s not an emergency.

Personally I would ask your brother to check and just take his child with him.

Its not that unusual for her to go out. But two nights in a row probably is. She was partially sighted before she had cataracts and she was starting to see better since she got them done. Her health is generally good too.

This has happened before. She's gone out, I've phoned and talked myself into a panic and then called her a bit later and she was home. She sometimes has phone issues too, as in I hear it ring but it doesn't ring in her house.
I don't really want the police hammering at her door and scaring her either!

I just called again and still no answer at 9.30pm so I'll call at 10.00pm. She doesn't go to bed early.

Why can your brother not go to check with his wee boy? That is what I'd do

probably because he thinks I'm just worrying too much AND his wife would kill him if their wee boy got out of schedule because of his neurotic sister......also if things are not ok I wouldn't want my nephew to be there. He's only 4.

I'd call the police and ask to do a welfare check on her

It was just me fretting. She had a meeting at the church that went on longer than expected. Also she thinks her phone is playing up.
