I am OK Thanks

The doctor and nurse told him in March at our annual MOTs that I mustn't try to lift him but he still thought i could get him up somehow

He knows now when it happens again there's no ifs or buts its a 999 call

Glad to hear your hubby is ok...... how are you?

He must realise now that he has to accept help. You can't be expected to lift him.

Take care <3

Was sitting downstairs doing my iPad searching around and heard a series of bangs of things falling .
Called up to hubby are you ok only got a muffled response so brought the chairlift around from its sitting position at the top of the stairs so I could go up ASAP

Bathroom door was closed so called again as I went are you ok ????

Again a muffled reply but of NO

Had to unlock the door from the outside to find hubby on his back stretched across the floor with his head wedged between the bidet and the sink cupboard . He had slipped getting out the shower as he had left something on the floor and he stepped on it and lost his balance as he got out

Tried to get him up as he was adamant I wasn't to call 999, Managed to get him out the bathroom to the top landing but no way we going to get him up so called 999 with him getting cross with me

A paramedic was here in ten minutes and about 10 mins later an ambulance.

He was checked over thoroughly and before they tried to lift him they put his pants and vest on to hide his modesty and then the two big guys got him up and onto his chairlift and took him downstairs.

They waited around for the paramedic to say whether he needed to go to hospital ,which it was decided he didn't need too ,and then left .

The lady paramedic was lovely gave a him a thorough checking over and made sure he wasn't going into shock or anything before then leaving with the instruction to call if he looked like he was having any reactive problems

Told hubby in no uncertain terms too that I mustnt attempt to try and lift him if he falls but must call for help . He knew this but wouldn't accept this before but think it's got through to him by them telling him

He is feeling a bit shaken but is OK
