Broken hip....i knew this would happen
- Thread starter gillybean
- Start date
My very best wishes as well...
I was standing near mother's bed or half-sitting on it until 4am last Thursday
until she was moved to a bed with rails.
Nobody around could understand, I was told they would watch etc,
but, of course, they cannot see everything...
In other situation - I am having vacations now - it would be impossible...
Many patients I know recovered beautifully after such problems
you have my very best wishes.

Dear Gillybean
What a nightmare for you. Everybody's worst nightmare. Your daughter deserves this little slice of you! You deserve a thoughtful week with her too.
I must say when friends daughters have gone to uni they have kept in a lot of contact but when friends sons have gone to uni there has been a lot less contact.
Can your hubby link to this forum to support him to be as active as you are?
Just so UNFAIR xx

Perhaps it would be a good idea to take that holiday? Your Husband is close to the situation-he would know if you were needed to come back.
Your Daughter needs this time with you, and you sound as though you are desperate for a break.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Thank you all for your support.
Fortunately (at the moment) she has a support worker with her, they are going do a scan as they aren't sure about the break. Then they may operate
so scared for her, she asked me when she could come tonight, heartbreaking. I have an awful feeling about this just because of her weight and the rehab and recovery...

Oh gilly, I can imagine only too well how you feel
Your poor mum, and poor you In my thoughts tonight xxx
Thoughts and prayers are with you your lovely Mum and family Gillybean.I find it so sad that the powers that be just do not listen when you and others could see this coming.
Take care tonight .
Take care tonight .
What a worry for you, and how awful for it to happen so soon before your holiday.
Terrible that such a thing could happen in hospital. I hope your fears for your mum will be needless, though. My mother was over 90 and very thin when she fell and broke a hip but she did make a surprisingly good and quick recovery. I do hope you will find the same.

Still waiting to hear about the scan, meanwhile I have had a response from PALS...
I am sorry to hear about yr woes. As your Mum is 80 (and I assume not on
any kind of section) your need to contact Age UK. They provide the
advocacy service in this region for people your Mum's age
Not the response I'd hoped for

Morning gilly
Hope you got some rest last night. Err, no, not the response I'd have expected either. I guess if you feel your mum needs an advocate ( other than you or your family), AgeUK is the way to go (though what relevance your mother's age has to her clinical treatment somewhat baffles me
).If you want to complain, perhaps you have to literally send in a complaint.
All at a time when I would imagine you want to concentrate your energies on your mum ......
Good luck today
Keep us posted when you get the chance Chin up gilly

Thanks Lindy
Right now I need to concentrate on Mum not complaining, she's my priority. She doesn't need an advocate, I mean how could that work with her communication right now! Just sat waiting for results, awful tense times. Keep feeling nauseous, horrible
Really feel for you gilly and I'm sure your mum could not have a better advocate than you, in any case!!
I can imagine how you feel. Are you eating (and especially drinking) reasonably? Peppermint tea maybe?
Keep your strength up (((Hugs )))
