Hello all,
During the last couple of weeks my Nan has developed some sores on her legs that are getting increasingly worse. My parents took her to the doctors when they first started to get worse (as my Mum says the patches on her legs have been there for years) and the doctor prescribed antibiotics which, so far, have done nothing.
When we arrived home from work on Monday evening, the sores looked far worse and very deep so my parents took my Nan to the local hospital who could only really bandage them up and say that the sores looked vascular (my Nan has heart problems and diabetes contributing to the vascular dementia)- as they were unable to prescribe any medication due to not knowing what tablets my Nan is currently taking (I would have thought that their computer systems were linked up?).
My Dad is now taking my Nan back to the doctors on Thursday for them to reassess the situation. Yet again the doctors seem to be doing very little (maybe there's nothing they can do), and my Mum, especially, is getting worried that infection is setting in.
