Work as a carer for a lady with cerbal palsy. She has no mobility but had seizures so we always keep the bed sides up.
She had a seizure this morning and ended up leaning to one side so I put the bed side down and went to straighten her. As I leant over she has a massive seizure and lurched into me. I lost my footing and slipped backwards. She is quite heavy and her whole upper body was coming off the bed and Managed to catch her but the position I was on could not get her back on the bed so I eased her to the floor.
She is fine has a bit of a bump to the head which caught the side of the bed. I have reported it and my boss has said I did well and it was just a freak accident but I just feel sick and have not stopped shaking since and keep crying. The lady has been checked over. It just keeps going through my head a should have done better and I just want to hand my notice on as feel so awful about it all. Feel so sick inside
I have changed my user name as quite outing
I am on again tonight and just can’t stop shaking as I have just lost all faith in my ability
