She fell forward and cut her hand as well as bruised her cheek. When we found out that it was Cindy who had fallen we immediately went over to her to see how she was doing. She was icing her ankle and had a covering over her hand. During this time there was discussion of what should be done in Cindy’s best interest. Cindy left the YMCA to go to the doctor and receive stitches in her left hand, and have the rest of injuries checked out. While she was leaving we noticed her walking seemed to be OK, however she expressed to an employee that her ankle was bothering her. When Cindy left she was enthusiastic about returning next Friday and we told her we would call her during the week to see how she was doing.

One of the side effects left over from her stroke was that she had a drop-foot for which she had a splint and a walking stick; she had declined to use a frame. Mary was one of the patients on my team so I was getting to know her quite well during my first two weeks on the ward. I was working with another patient when I saw Mary twist on her ankle and try to steady herself on her stick. This had the effect of spinning her round and she fell to the floor onto her left hip. I ran to help, she was in a lot of pain and slight shock, I called down the ward for help several members of staff came to help saying "do this" and "do that" all at the same time, I was quite over whelmed. Mary was rolled back and forth onto a sling, hoisted up and placed on her bed, all the while I was looking after her head, I did not know what else to do so I talked to her to calm her down, which was difficult due to all the commotion. On initial examination the senior nurse on duty said it looked like she had broken her femur, which was later confirmed. Her residential placement was cancelled and she was transferred to stepping hill.…
