Fred leaves his home

Earlier today he came downstairs and then, trying to get to his chair, had a fall. I came over and a group of us got him to his chair (after Margaret consulted with the paramedics on the phone). He's still weak and having very difficult time standing and walking. Margaret didn't really want him to have to leave the house with the level of cold outside (-39). The ambulances were backed up for hours but they finally came and took him to emergency and admitted him to do tests. At home he was enjoying gnomes. At the hospital, he is very distressed and enjoying nothing.
