Another Skin Tear

Thursday night Margaret was being helped to the toilet when she stumbled and hit her right arm against the striker plate of the door latch which has resulted in another large skin tear.

Here you can see the clean dressing on the one she did at home near the wrist band and the new one, still bleeding above it. This photo was taken 15 hours after the event.  The bruising is from the new skin tear.

 Margaret was now also leaking fluid from both her arms and weeping fluid from from another mysterious dressing on her left shin.  She is decidedly unhappy with life at present as she hates being "dirty" and lying in "dirty bed clothes"

She only had one walk with the physio on Friday because she didn't feal well and I took a video of it and placed it on my Facebook page.

I dropped in this morning to see Margaret and she was a bit brighter but still leaking from her left arm and right leg.  She has been given Endone to help with her pain and has also been fitted with a new sling which holds her arm closer to the body.

I stayed and cut up her lunch for her.  She is going to rest this afternoon having sat up all morning.

I shall see her again at dinner and assist her if she needs it.
