rough night again , was about to go to bed around 2 am after watching clint eastwood on tv
and got a call from my sister in sydney who got a call from vital call , which dad has
he apparently had a fall in between his bed and his toilette in his en-suite
any way i dashed over there and ambulance was there, we have a set up with a key in a place that the ambo's
can get too and is security coded, and only a very few people know about it..
so it was 4.30 am by the time they left and I got him settled, was 5 am by the time I got to bed..
oh well.. he is ok now had a little bit to drink and is sleeping in bed... has a few bruises here and there..
I'm going to stay over for a few days till my sister can come down ... hopefully thursday..
just thought I'd update you all,
milo

Sorry to hear that Milo, sounds like he might be better in a nursing home where staff can monitor him.

Milo,
I know it's really tough when you are worried about someone being at home without help directly at hand. I reckon the monitoring system sounds pretty effective but I'm sure you, Dad and family will decide what is best.
I hope you manage to get a good sleep.

No good for you or Dad Milo - but hospital is the best place at the moment - may need someone with him 24/7 - nursing home maybe??
But he is probably fiercely independent, as a lot of them are at that age - but no good falling over, what if he passed out and didn't press his emergency button? Not good.
Take care, have a good rest.

Very sad Milo for you to see your dad like this, but hospital is the best and safest place for him to be. Thinking of you
