Edna is back in hospital. She fell while trying to answer the door to the carer . She went without a walker of any sort, trying to rush to answer the bell and fell.
She has fractured her femur around the pin of the artificial hip she had about 8 years ago. This is not an easy problem to fix and I have no idea what the next move will be.
All I know is she is in hopsital, going to have a catheter - since there is no way she can be got onto any sort of toilet/bedpan without being in a lot of pain, and VERY confused due to pain/morphine /dementia - take your pick.

This blog started off as 'Alzheimers and me' then changed to 'Dementia and how I coped' when I learned about Lewy Body Dementia. The final title reflects the illness and its effect on patient and carer. It also recognises that the patient has a life that needs to be recognised and valued
