Mum should be going back to the home tomorrow. She will be going to the nursing wing. One unfortunate thing she had a fall on Sunday, the Sister in charge of the ward had warned me that several times she had tried to get out of the chair and walk and they had caught her. On Sunday they did not probably attending to someone else and the next they knew she was on the floor. Does not appear to have done any damage she will get final once over tomorrow and if all OK she will be transferred back to the home either tomorrow or Wednesday.

When she fell she hit her head on the plaster on her arm so she is likely to have a black eye in a couple of days.

By the way I made a port and rabbit casserole on Sunday and took some of that into her and she really enjoyed that.

Dad had his pre cardioversion appointment at the hospital which advises patients what will happen etc. Tomorrow he has a biopsy on a nasty place on his ankle.

I will post a photo I took of mum today in a few minutes

Oooh .. that's a shame, snugs. I know how worrisome that is. Thank God she didn't break anything, and she didn't have to lay there too long.

My Mom's knees are so bad, that even with her walker, she keeps falling .. her knees just give out. Makes us all so nervous and fearful of her breaking something, and she's been down for as long as an hour until my sis could come to pick her up off the floor.

She's in a senior residence, but she's fearful that if she bothers them too much, they won't let her stay. She had a shiner 2 weeks ago, too. It's SO sad 'cause she's so alert, good spirited and was active. I suffer with my knees, and I'm resolved to look into knee replacement after the 1st of the year. Her doc thinks she's too old for that surgery at this point. She's kicking herself because she resisted it for years, and now she's helpless to keep from falling. My Sis has decided it's time for a wheelchair.

Sorry to hear that, Snugs. Prayers for your mum, dad and you.
