Just be careful.
When i was 15 a friends dad fell down into mud in my street. I backed him home. 2 days later he slept and didn't wake up. He was well into his 80s

Corona period. A fellow landlord's wife slipped and fell in my street. I picked her up and assisted her home. That weekend she slept and didn't wake up too. She's in her 80s too.

Not saying anything would happen to your mum. But get proper treatment first. Adults falling down often the first sign something bad is about to happen.
It's like these old people should be avoiding you o. Once you pick them up after they fall, they sleep and don't wake up. embarassed

Dehydration can cause that. Also head injury,a slow leaking subdural hematoma in the elderly is a culprit
Does she have any chronic disease or on chronic medication

Take her to a good hospital and have her checked.

Her BP might be high or low and her sugar level must be checked too. Ensure she doesn't walk to a far distance etc.

Your mum should go for an X-ray. She probably has pathologic fracture.

Although you didn't tell us her age, health issues, weight, sugar, BP, bones condition, able or disabled, mental health, arthritis, sight condition, hypertension, smoothness of your road, is it in the night she fell or day? If its night do you have light? If day time, does she see well? Does she feed well? Hunger can make you fall. Does she take alcohol? Etc.

Ok, in this case now, she's helpless. Pls take her again to the hospital. I know she's been going before, but please take her there again and complain how it started ok. I pray for strength for her.

She fell again and had a swollen head
She is old. Get her a strong walking stick at least to support her. .. Or those light things with four legs she can be using to lean on when she stands or walks

you shouldn't have brought it to the public. You should have rather taken her to the hospital so as to avoid useless opinions like mine

Elderly people sometimes lose their balance. The best thing is to take her to the hospital promptly.
I pray that she recovers well.

Get a doctor to perform a checkup while at it. A word is enough for the wise.
