My dad's had a fall.

My dad went up to my sister's to wait in for her doctor, whilst my mum went to her own doctors. He fell in her doorway and then down her step. My mum had been staying at my sisters after her hospital stay. My dad called her to say that he thought he'd broken his leg- so she had to call my aunt to stop with my sister whilst she went home to call his doctor out.

He is in agony and struggling to get out of bed and use the toilet. I need to try and get some mobility aids sorted. I've seen a frame you can get around the toilet to use to lever yourself up. My mum can't be helping him up all the time- or she is going to hurt her back.

My sister is also being difficult about going over to stop at my mum's. Mum has got to be at home now- but Sue needs help down the stairs and still isn't eating- so she's not going to gain strength soon.

I've asked Guy to see if he can take Monday off- so that I can stay there on Sunday night and come home Tuesday lunchtime.

You sound as though you have a lot on your plate at the moment - hope everyone is on the mend soon.

Thank you. I stayed over the weekend but didn't feel that I was much help. We cannot get my sister to eat.
