Hello again Daisy, writing this whilst I am waiting for the paramedics....................
No carer in this evening. My son came for the early evening as the dentist was doing a home visit. My John thought he should be 'on hand'. (100 mile round trip for him)
Lionel was very unsteady, but fairly sociable so he went home at 9pm. Lionel wanted to go to bed just after 10pm, toiletted him etc, all going well until we tried to get into bed.
Suddenly he lost it..........ended up on the floor unable to move. So dialled 999.
At last, Lionel is now safely tucked up in bed...I have lots of help in place, but lifting I just cannot do. The local paramedics are so good, never grumble, and when they can get him upright again, I can manage him better than them.
Don't despair, ASK FOR HELP. Love Connie
