My mum can walk but needs to hold onto things around her house. Around 3 weeks ago my mum was getting ready to go to Blackpool for a long weekend. She is not in good health but she was trying to bring a bag down stair but had a bad fall she was on the floor for around 1 hour when my sister walk in and found my mum she was in terrible pain but she still went on holiday but the next day the pain got worse so she had no option but to go to hospital to find out she had a very nasty break on her arm going into her shoulder. When she got home we ask for help only to be told don't worry it will get better. We where hoping to get help long tern for example a double had rail up stair which was told no. I am 50 years old I fall often & they gave me a double head rail up my stair which is the same type of stair case & other support around my house
My mum is in worst health than I am but I got the help but my mum is only getting temporary help but I had more help than my mum. My mother is 70 years old & she now saying she is a burden to my sister and myself. I now go to bed & worry if my mum does something stupid. I am now sleep walking & cutting myself while I sleep due to getting no help for my mum. She worked all her life only to be told she is only getting temporary help around the house which is just not good enough.
