Thanks All,
It really does help to know that your not alone,
I went to see my mom yesterday not knowing what to expect. It was as if it were a different person from the previous days " nightmare ". She was alert and talking although not making any sense at all. We have to make believe we understand her and just answer.
It was obviously the drugs that they had given her that was responsible for her condition on Friday.
If we hadn't said anything they would have continued to give them to her and who knows what might have happened, I dread to think.
I will ask to speak to PALS though, that is something I didn't know so thank you.
I understand about the lack of care. We have also had days when mom has had soiled underwear on . She has at those times dressed herself and hasn't been checked or helped.
I have never seen carers so relaxed. In care homes they are run off their feet but in the hospital they just sit about for the entire shift and I do mean sit.
Perhaps it's easier if the patient is drugged so much that they can't make a fuss but the family can and we did.
We will see what todays visit brings.
Thank You All again.
