Step away from Step Down

The post operation care facility Step Down in Tokai has no beds for Geoff, so he has to stay in hospital. The neurologist wants to speak to me about his falls, just in case they are related to his epilepsy. (I'm not sure, but I don't think so.) Anyway, he hasn't phoned me yet. Meanwhile poor old Geoff is still in hospital and likely to remain so for the weekend. Thank goodness he can watch the rugby! Got him the earphones for the hospital TV. He's in the neurological unit at the moment with electrodes all over his head. 

Back in hospital

 Shame, so in the fall that Geoff had recently, he didn't break his hip, but his thigh bone got cracked, so that has been pinned. My poor dear husband, it's as though he's a porcelain doll: cracks when he falls. Anyway, so a physician came to ask him a whole pile of questions to try and determine why he is falling. They did a sonar scan on his carotid artery to see if he is getting enough blood to the head. And also, he may have to go to a facility called Step Down, because it is going to be hard trying to walk on the broken leg when his arm is still in a sling. Latest update: his clavicle is being operated on tomorrow. 

Another fall

I got home from walking the dog this afternoon and found Geoff on the floor. He had fallen in the passage and had managed to slide into the lounge but couldn't get up. I couldn't lift him, what with his one arm in a sling and him not being able to use his right leg (from the fall). I just hope his hip is not broken. I called our service provider (Deep Blue Security) to please come pick him up. My friend Kate was here and helped me undress him and get him into bed after supper (which she brought). Nice to have angelic friends!

Good news! Had a phone call today, NOT squamous.
