Oh dear that’s not good
At least she wasn’t hurt beyond pride and hopefully she will now listen
Can’t comment on BIL

Next time she goes into hospital Bazo you may be able to insist that they don't release her - they have a duty to consider her safety at home. That's basically what happened to my dad. He went straight into a care home at that point. Of course he wasn't so obstructive, and neither was my mother (who had been looking after him, but was no longer really capable of dealing with his falls). Your BiL is if course going to cause huge problems if he doesn't sort himself out.

We tried that 15 months ago and they sent her home anyway. We refused to do the taking home so they arranged transport.
I spoke to Mrs axe on the way home and I wonder if mil might now be receptive if we raise it.
That said only a week ago she spoke about getting out for a walk.
It must be so hard and frightening to find yourself in the situation she is in.

To be fair she's coped (mostly) for 15 months so maybe they were right back then, but presumably she is worse now?

Sorry to read this Baz. I think it's worth having the conversation and also if she does end up back in hospital insisting that your concerns are recorded. Try PALS if yoou don't feel listened to or ask that a safeguarding assessment is completed.

That's what happened with my dad too. He fell one time too many and although never hurt himself they took him in and he never returned to his house. Don't think he was the easiest of patients.

Was just serving tea and phone went. Carer has found mil on floor again. Falls team won’t go out as it’s the second call in a day. WTAF.
Quick eat and round we go.
BiL still to reply about agreement on fixing the leak we have to fix as well.

Time for an ambulance.
If you keep picking her up you may lift her with an injury and make her worse and you won't know why she's falling.
