Well after the palava (sp) of Grandad being moved from the Nursing home to a care home because he "escaped", Grandad is now in hospital after a fall on Thursday evening.
He fell head first onto his forehead. The care home said that he was a bit "out of it" and had an "egg head" so they called an ambulance. He's been transferred from one hospital to another and is now waiting a CT scan. I don't understand all this as when he fell and gashed his head badly at Xmas they discharged him after an hour! He appears to be no different than normal so it is very puzzling.
One thing that is puzzling the care home is the fact that for the whole 4 weeks Grandad was in the nursing home he had no falls whatsover and yet he has been in the care home 8 days and has had 6 falls which pretty much tallies in with how many falls he was having when he was at home with Nan.
It makes me wonder what the nursing home got up to - did they tie him to his chair or something !!!??!!!!??!
My poor Grandad must be soooo confused and to top it all the CT scan is going to be so distressing for him as he didn't like the last one he had much when he had his Dementia with Lewy bodies diagnosed.
Take care all
