Mum's fallen. Just need some words of comfort.

I was holding my breath reading your thread, Jellybaby. I’m so glad your mum is safely in hospital now. I hope she is on the road to recovery and that you can now have some sleep. Xx

Jellybaby - I hope your Mum is doing well. This happened to my 83 year old friend 2 weeks ago. She fell in my garden at 2.30 in the afternoon. My strong neighbours managed to get her on to a chair and brought her into my living-room. Ambulance arrived at 3 a.m. next morning. She is now in hospital. They have pinned her fractured femur, but won’t discharge her because she has no family. I don’t know what the future is going to be like for her, but she is strong in mind and body, so she will be ok I’m sure

Your poor mum, and poor you. I do hope she’ll be feeling a lot better very soon. 💐

So sorry to read this. Hope things have settled down by now jellybaby. Wishing you all the best.

Is there any first aid advice for carers?

Jellybaby I hope your lovely Mum recovers and is able to go into respite and that you are able to have your well deserved holiday.. thank goodness for our wonderful NHS

Oh jellybaby I feel for both of you. I’ve lived through this, my mum had several falls. Glad you’ve got some help now.

I've only just seen your post, Jellybaby but sending all good wishes to your Mum and both of you.
Hopefully she is more comfortable now.

We and friends have been there a couple of times recently too and the wait for an ambulance is getting longer. Sometimes people have given up and managed to get the person to hospital by car but then the wait is hours to be seen.

Big hugs to you and your mum. Only just read this. I’m so sorry, I’ve been there a few times with my mum, but not when the NHS is struggling as it is now.

So relieved for you all when reading this this morning!
Stay strong - as you have seen, there's always someone around here day or night.
Looking forward to reading of your progress.

Your week's break will come in due course, I am sure.

So very sorry. Do hope you are getting a good rest now.

So sorry to read this Jellybaby I do hope you can get some rest soon

Goodness Jellybaby I’ve just seen your thread. What a traumatic time for you and your mum last night. Horrendous waiting time especially when so anxious. I hope your mum is better today she will be well looked after. She does indeed sound a lovely lady.

My husband will drive here soon. With ( cold) toast and a flask and a charger. I’m sooo tired. The night before last I slept for 3 hours. And no sleep last night. My eyes hurt!
So busy here.

hello Jellybaby71011 hoping mum is now in hospital and fully medicated xx

What a traumatic time for you all Jellybaby hope your Mum has pain relief and is comfortable now. Take a deep breath and relax, you need to take care too.

Now that your Mum is being looked after jellybaby it's time for you to have a rest. Sleep if you can. You'll need to recharge your batteries before re entering the fray. Best wishes

I am very relieved for you and hope you and DH can get some sleep soon.
To recharge ALL your batteries.

You have done all you could.

Unlike when my poor mum lay on the floor for 13 hours before being found, with her hip broken in 3 places. She had a buzzer but it wasn't on her. My siblings and I still feel guilty.

Hope your Mum is more comfy now and you can get some sleep. X

Better news Jellybaby, take care of yourself too.

I hope your mum is more comfortable and that she now has a bed.

Your first post brought tears to my eyes, a 95 year old lady being told the wait for an ambulance will be so long.

Sending love to your lovely mum, yourself and your husband💐

Only just caught up with this, so pleased you contacted 111 and got a paramedic to come and help your mum and you and so glad she’s now in a safe place even if they are juggling beds etc The nurses and doctors will be lovely to your mum and do everything they can for her (and for you )
When my mum was dying she was in a small room they bought me a fold up bed a blanket and cooked me porridge and made cups of coffee

I can only send you a virtual hug have a rest and then you can get back to your precious mum 🤞🏼🙏💐

Oh Jellybaby how awful.. Hope your mum is feeling more comfortable now and you can both get a little rest.
Hugs 🤗 to you both.

Just seen this. Sending love to you and your lovely Mum x

Oh Jellybaby how awful your poor mum and you. So pleased help arrived. I was in a similar position with my mum, but thankfully just before the pandemic so the ambulance wasn’t long at all. They insisted she take two paracetamol whilst lying on her back, very difficult as you can imagine.
She had broken her hip at 88. She’s still here, she’s 91 living independently too.
Hope your mum makes a good and speedy recovery.
