Hi,
Mum has been in the hospital a month now. I visit every
other day and dad goes the one in betweeen. Yesterday,
I went when I got there they were all having their 3.00pm
cuppa. Mum was sitting in the chair and putting toffee
popcorn in her cup of tea
She smiled when she saw me and then we had the usual
conversation (she doesn't make much sense when she talks
as her words are all muddled) but I get the jist of it. Then she
wanted me to take her home and she started to cry (this upset
me) she kept asking, saying they sat round all day with nothing
to do) I tried to get her to go into the garden but she wouldn't.
She just looks so frail and pathetic. I've noticed she shakes her
head a lot as well
When leaving I spoke to the staff nurse he said she had been
quite happy in the morning, although she refused to sit on the
scales to be weighed.
Yesterday was the worst day since I've been going, it just makes
you feel awful
