Update re Mum
Hello all,
Haven't had much time to sign in lately as things have again spiralled in an unexpected way with Mum.
Last Sunday evening whilst getting undressed at my sister's house her false hip came out of its socket and the poor love was in absolute agony. Ann sent for the ambulance and she has been in hospital ever since. They operated to slip the hip back in place which was a great success, and mum seems to be walking better if anything.
Unfortunately we once again had to miss her assesment which was to have been on Monday. However, we have spoken to the care manager and she is putting a case together for us for mum to have 24 hour care in a residential home, which means we can rest easy that she is not wandering around all night and see her as usual every day. Have to wait and see if we have any success there, but my main worry is how upset she is about not being able to come home with us every time we visit. She is so delighted to see us at first, but when she realises she has to stay there then she tells us she hates us, can't believe we have turned out to be so wicked etc. which is so sad. Had a breakthrough though this eve. as she refused to kiss me on leaving but then followed me down the corridor and told me she loved me and had a little hug and a cry. I can't tell you how much that made me feel better. It's going to be a long week as we will go through this ritual many times before we get things sorted.
Sorry its a bit rambling but as usual the words just keep tumbling out.
Best wishes to you all and hope you are all OK.
Margaret xx
