Morning all, so much to catch up on so I’ll just say hope all are well.
My mum had a fall at her Home on Friday and had two cuts on her face, the home called an ambulance, phoned me and said she’d phone again when they’d been. We decided after not hearing anything to just go up there . She was fine in herself, bit fed up of the fuss! I’m really glad we were there because when the three(!) paramedics arrived they were quite happy to not take her to hospital whereas the nurse at the home seemed to want her taken in. It was now about 4.30pm on a Friday, we really didn’t think anything would have been gained by taking her in and having a long wait in A&E.
I said as her family we supported the decision to not take her in. She had too small dressings on her face, her BP was fine. She didn’t even have a headache! Anyway off the paramedics went and so did we a bit later.
Went to see her yesterday and she’s got a lovely black eye! Still laughing and joking with the carers. She’s a tough old bird!
John and I both have the day off today, fed up with this miserable dull weather so it looks like a day of chores and sorting out some of mum’s admin. Have a good day all.
