My Mum has had 2 falls in the last week. I live a 3 hour drive away and work full time. Mum has hurt her side and back - the hospital X-rayed her chest and told me that she's just bruised and to take paracetamol as required (she has pain patches already). Both Mum and the hospital seemed keen to discharge her, so she was discharged at about midnight on Friday. She is in a lot of pain (which I'd expect) when moving, coughing, yawning etc, however the really big problem is that she is unable to get up from sitting unaided, get into bed unaided, or get up or down the stairs without a lot of help. She is only just able to walk and looks very, very wobbly, and I'm frightened that she'll fall again. Carers come in for half an hour morning and evening, but they are of limited help and wouldn't be able to lift her to standing. I work full time, so can't stay here indefinitely. Any ideas of where I should go to try and get help or support? Thank you.
