My husband, 80, has Alz and VD in the middle stage. He is fine if I am around but is lost and wanders if he cant find me - even with a note on the kitchen table eg. 'gone for milk'.
I fell head first onto concrete and got concussed. I was dizzy and vomiting. I dialled 999 but was told that there was no return transport from A&E (Sunday evng) and someone must collect me (20 mls) and no emergency care for husband. Docs surgury, Mon mng, said no visits, take taxi or husband to drive to surgury - still vomiting!
I gave up, rang a GP friend in Scotland who said headache or watering ears is serious otherwise stay in bed. A month later I am still queasy but getting chores done.
If the carer has an accident how do you get emergency care for husband? I am not accident prone (last beaten up by a cow 20yrs ago) but I need information. Can anyone advise?
