mum is waiting for SS assessment and app at the memory clinic.
She has had poor mobility for a few years now,and uses a stick indoors and a wheelchair outside. Her feet are very swollen despite diuretics. Yesterday she had a fall, at the GP's of all places
was checked and said she had a sore arm but otherwise ok.
Tonight my brother (who lives with her) arrived home to find her trying to use the small table on casters that she uses for her meals to lean on to get across the room to her commode as she said her arm was too painful to use her stick. Infact, my brother says she can hardly move it.He suggested she use her stick in the other hand but she says that hand doesen't work properly. So now on top of her mental heath problems she is almost totaly immobile.
She has a stairlift to her upstairs bathroom, but now my brother is worried about her safty at the top of the stairs. Also how is she going to get out of bed with one useless arm.
Just don't know where we go from here
