Yesterday morning,my 94 year old father-in-law fell on the back steps of his house and couldn't get back up.He summoned assistance using his personal "alert" fob.At the same time,two carers arrived to get my 97 year old mother-in-law out of bed and ready for the day.One of the carers found my father-in-law and an ambulance was summoned.Two ambulances arrived,followed by the "alert" system helper.There are now 6 people in their house.My father-in-law was taken to hospital by ambulance and later released after treatment for minor injuries.On returning to their house,my mother-in-law,who is as sharp as a tack regarding money,informed us that someone had taken two twenty pound notes from her handbag which had been left unattended in the livingroom during the commotion.Apart from the fact that we could never prove who took the money,she is so upset that someone could do this.She does not want any fuss about it but now everyone is under suspicion.Sad days indeed.
