My 94 year old mom fell last Sunday, and broke her left wrist. She used her medical alert pendant, so we were called right after the emergency squad was dispatched. We were about 20 minutes away at church, while on our way, her neighbor called me so I could talk to the EMT.
Trip to the ER, splint on her wrist with a follow up the next day at the Ortho clinic. Several stitches in the back of her left ear. So now she is staying with us, with paperwork started to move her into assisted living.
Hubby needs more back surgery.
Caring for a 94 year old fiercely independent woman who is somewhat wobbly is a real humbling frustrating experience.
