We found mum on her bedroom floor last Sunday morning, and to cut a very long story short this week has consisted of:-
Have found mum on bedroom floor 5 times
Called ambulance on four occasions for help to get her up when on my own
Trip to A&E arriving at 1830 and being discharged at 0230 - in themiddle of thenight
Two visits from GP
Disturbed night Thursday night, with mum using shower as toilet, and calling for me at 0400 Friday morning.
Then once again found mum on floor Friday morning - assuming she had fallen.
Mum admitted to hospital for medical assessment yesterday, so today I have had some time to think.
Basically has she actually been falling, or is she laying down not realising that she is getting on the floor.
Basically when I found her yesterday morning she was some way away from her bed but covered with her duvet.. and if she had fallen she would never have been able to get hold of the duvet and then cover herself with it...
