Fkn shittest day on windows ever. Arrived at 95yr old blokes house at 11.15am could hear his phone on full blast, assumed it was the answer phone. Knocked to let him know i was there with no answer, could still hear shouting from his 'answer phone' and could nlw hear him shouting 'help' Lookes through living room window, walking frame on floor and him lying on floor with trousers round his ankles. Ran round all 3 neighbours NO answer, so managed to get his attention through window, and he shouted where the spare keys were so i didnt have to break in. The 'answer machine' was infact his emergency button intercom. So i spoke to the woman, and covered him with blanket, waited till ambulance arrived and waited while they made sure he was ok. 2.5hrs i was there, never been so fkn frightened, and dont want another day like today. His sons in somerset we are in Norfolk, the care company have NO local emercency contact for him so if he falls again its a case of wait for ambulance ??? Cant fault the ambulance guys today, the NHS will never get a slating from me. So now they have my number if he falls again im only 10mins away. Talk about above n beyond .
