Hi all
An update as promised...
Day 1 in NH - not too bad all things considered
Day 2 in NH - thank God you are here to take me home. They are all potty/mad/can't talk. Need the police asap. The staff are evil/dishonest/not qualified/useless AND I am not staying here for one more minute.
Day 3 in NH - almost as bad as day 2. I'm locked in and so are you now. You can't get out either. You will learn the hard way. Then she tells me that I cannot get in either!
Day 4 in NH - Call from Senior nurse. Your mum has just had a nasty turn - unconscious for 10 mins and we have put her back to bed and called the doctor. Oh, she's up and around!!!!
I think and so do the NH that she had a TIA. They have also advised me not to visit for a couple of days to give her a chance to 'settle'. When I am not there she is okay-ish. They are also going to see if other medication may help the obvious anxiety/fear issues she has. I'm not joking, day 2 and 3 were very distressing for both of us.
Does anyone have any experience of what a TIA will 'do' to her? Should I expect any change in her when I do go in on Wednesday?
****** disease - its destroying me too - it is SO hard to be strong and not to disolve into tears every 5 minutes! I didn't know I had the capacity to cry so much. Escape valve I suppose but I wish I could stop.
Thanks
Judy
