My 77-year-old mother fell in the kitchen, hitting her right side of the head on a cabinet handle and falling to the floor on her right side after her right foot gave out. She has a bump on the top right side of her head, her right shoulder and hip are sore, and her balance is off. She has high blood pressure and diabetes, and takes medications including janumet, rosuvastatin, gliclazide, and irbesartan. What should I do now?
