George had a fall recently which I mentioned in an earlier post. The doctor has seen him several times to keep an eye on him. George does keep complaining of pain but the source of this pain changes every time you ask him. The doctor has been unable to work out exactly what is going on.
I had just got in the car today to go to see George when the phone rang. It was the nurse at the home. The ambulance was on its way to pick him up to take him to get x-Ray's.
Now we just need to wait and see. If he has broken or cracked a rib there is not a lot they can do. Falls are a real problem. Luckily they often don't realise what is happening and so do not tense up meaning that they often do not hurt themselves.
This is where things can be so very hard as they often don't know and can't tell you what is wrong. Very difficult to know exactly what the problem is.
It's good that George has had an x-Ray Di. Hope they sort out what is wrong and give him the help he needs.
ReplyDeleteNothing broken. He has a urinary infection which does cause confusion. He seems very fearful of standing up although he did walk from bed to chair in his room this morning. I am just hoping I can get his confidence back to walk...
