Hi All
Over the past few days mum has had a couple of falls, she was taken to hospital for an xray on her hip which is still hurting her and today she fell out of bed trying to get up to answer the front door. Seems she forgets she cant walk very well.
Tonight her hip and neck are in pain and she has a bruise on her back according to the carer and 60mg of codeine doesnt seem to be helping so 111 doctor prescribed 5ml of liquid morphine.
They asked me in hospital if she had a hospital bed at home which would be handy to stop her falling out of bed but Im not sure how to get one, does social services take care of this or is it the nhs.
We also have a physio coming on wednesday to assess her. I dont think I can do any more.
Any suggestions welcome.
