So today OH couldn’t get out of bed. After a huge struggle I got him up and clutching his Zimmer frame. His feet just wouldn’t leave the ground, we couldn’t get anywhere. I put a chair behind him and he sat, collapsing forward, almost falling off the chair.
How do you wash and change someone who cant stand or lift their feet?
I rang OT, they were amazing and arrived 2 hours later, concerned that I don’t have help to look after OH they felt the best course of action was to put him back into bed, this was around 4.00pm. He is still there fast asleep not having eaten or drank anything of consequence. They will arrange for a nurse and another therapist to visit in the morning and they will probably arrange a GP assessment.
Where we go from here I have no idea
