She has her leg in plaster from ankle to thigh and will have to stay in that for 2 weeks. The plan is to get her straight o one of rehab hospitals from the Raddlebarn Suite. I have made it plain West Heath would be my preference but if its Moseley Hall we will just have to cope.
The combination of shock from the fall, being in an unfamiliar location and the painkillers (Tramadol and Co-codamol 30/500) has made her confused. When I said I had told Alma about her leg she said she was glad becasue she hadn't been able to find Alma that morning. She was also calling Steve 'Alan' which quite distressed him.
She was much more confused than she has been for some time. I have told the nurses I really need to be with her when any important information is being given - or improtant decisions need to be made. I have also told them that if she gets confused and distressed any time I am happy to be called if it will calm her down.
