Mam had a fall at the care home a week past thursday leaving her with a big bump on her head and her face all bruised. Over the next few days she deteriated badly not drinking, eating or sleeping. She was so weak and tired she couldn't stand up. On monday and tuesday they managed to get her to bed for a while but after sleeping for a little while she kept trying to get up very distressed crying for her mam. On Wednesday she started to drink again and the doctor visited and said she had very low blood pressure.
We have visited her today to find her a little bit better she has eaten a little. They have got her strapped in a wheelchair as she gets very restless at times and if she tries to get up and walk she would probably fall again.
I just feel totally exhausted after such an emotional week and just find it hard to imagine that she should go on like this for a long time. I just don't know how i will cope seeing her so distressed and obviously unhappy.
Love
