It was a pretty bad fall but could have been a lot worse, was a few weeks back now, she used to be so independent but now has that horrible fear. We bought her a stick which has helped and i have told her time and time again if she needs anything i can nip out and get it but she has always thought it is too much trouble for me, bless her, she just wont have it. I'm glad i could help her out with the e-cig as she won't feel so much pressure about going out and getting her woodbines. I will let you know how she is getting on, promise

Can you get her seen by an Occupational Therapist? Should be able to get done through Social Services? OT's are great for getting devices to make independant living easier. getting granny a stick is probably a good move but OT's can assess the right height for a stick, or a walker.... hand rails in her house to help her get around? All things to make sure she can still be independant, and safe

So sorry to hear your granny has had a fall Blue Hope she soon recovers from it, though I can understand the horrible fear she must now have So pleased to hear she was relieved at getting her e-cig Something I hadn't thought of before, it will be much safer than a real cig for her n many ways. Bless you Blue for looking after your gran

Pleased to hear that your Gran is getting an OT visit, 3 weeks is a long time to wait but obviously someone knows what they're doing as I've heard it take much longer. You're doing a great job Blue
