so yesterday turned out to be a bad day. DB managed to fall again, hit his head on the sitting room fire, no way I was even going to try to get him up. Rang for an ambulance.....8 hour wait!! A paramedic turned up after 5 hours, took his obs etc and then settled down to wait for the Ambulance. Another set of obs. They decided to take him to hospital for Xrays, as usual he was complaining about his neck and hip. So off he went. It was light so I drew the curtains and the blinds and put myself to bed.
I left a note on the kitchen door asking the carers not to wake me, I had just over an hours sleep and then woke up, got some breakfast and took it back to bed. Hospital phoned about 11am to say that DB was coming home, he arrived just after 12.30. No damage, no chest infection, he went straight to bed, will wake him around 4.30 for a drink. They gave him tea and sandwiches at the hospital before he left.
I am like a rung out dish cloth, will try and get a nap whilst DB is asleep, I need to get cleaner Clare to help me do a bit of manouvering when she comes tomorrow. I am even more determined to shed some of the furniture. Will sort the back bedroom and fabric as I planned, then the chest will get emptied and put up for sale. If it does not sell it will go to the Air Ambulance charity shop. It might even go there anyway. We have had it 11 years, and it has done stirling service, but we do not have a hall here, it takes up quite a bit of room in the sitting room.
No idea as yet about supper.
Oh, dear! I'm so sorry about DB's fall and wonder why he doesn't use a walker when he first stands up?
ReplyDeleteHope you can get the rest you need to get yourself back on track without over-doing it. I think you were wise not to go to hospital with him. You'd really be worn out had you done that.
DH is still coughing but it's getting better. So far (knock wood) I seem okay. I'm just wishing for more energy as always!
Hugs!
