This is where it happened yesterday. I was visiting Mr. Swiss in his golden oldie home an it was time to go. We were both sitting on a chair. I got ready to go and Mr. Swiss decided to accompany me to the door. We both need a walker to assist with moibility. As I was leaving I heard a crash behind me and Mr. Swiss had fallen and believe me it was bizarre. I was unable to move but we were in the right place at the right time and in a few seconds Mr. Swiss was surrounded by helpers from the home.

The chief of the home was there and other workers. In no time he was checked over for injuries and he had a problem with one of his legs. A suggestion was made for an x-ray at the local hospital. The boss said I should go home, they would take care of the necessary. I got home informed my No. 2 son what had happened and a few minutes later I had a call from a doctor in the hospital. Mr. Swiss would be examined and they would let me know. Later in the evening it seemed he had insured his hip and would be operated. At 3.00 a.m. I was called from the surgeon to say he had been operated, had a partial hip replacement and everything was positive. I called him this morning in the hospital and he was able to talk to me. In the meanwhile his senior home phoned me and said that he was already managing to walk on his legt although with support naturally, and would be transferred back to his senior home tomorrow.

I suppose all is well that ends well, although I was certainly shocked, but he was being well cared for. I know it will soon be halloween, but that was not how I wanted to celebrate it. I dread to think how it would have developed had I been alone with him.
