Since her cold and subsequent falls, mum hasn't been great at eating or drinking, not to mention mobility. I know hospitals are in dire need of beds, but do they need to send vulnerable, frail patients home when they are clearly not well?
She is hardly drinking at all; her incontinence pants are dry from yesterday, so no urine passed at all in the last day. I struggle to give her sips in between the four carers' visits, but after one or two sips, she says: thats enough. I just feel so helpless, watching her. It breaks my heart. I am going to see about care next week, but keeping her from getting dehydrated is a big big worry till then.Even raspberries, she eats one and spits the rest out. I am at my wits' end.
