Afew days later \i noticed she was'nt walking properly, so I took her back to hosp. then she was admitted for two weeks..My concern now is that she sleeps so much and seems confused at times.
Elderly persons are Osteoporotic and their bones are weak. They are prone to multiple fracture during fall. The most commonest fracture is neck of the femur fracture. The fall may be associated with head injury which may be producing the confusion.
