Quick back story: March 2020 mum could go for walks with me (although she didn't feel safe on her own), she could hold an intelligent conversation and make decisions about things, she loved eating and would choose between 4 or 5 possible breakfasts every morning. She could also sit up unattended although she needed help getting up stairs.
Jump to March 2021: Still going for a daily walk with me up until Easter Sunday. Easter Monday had some kind of fit/seizure and spent 10 hours in A&E then sent home. Two days later she lost all mobility, unable to sit or stand. Was re-admitted by Active Recovery and was hospitalized for three weeks with a urine infection. Came home to a hospital bed where she has been for the last 9/10 weeks.
During all this time I had two short conversations with her GP. Since then, not a dickie-bird. Is it unreasonable to expect her GP to contact me (even if only once) after she was discharged to see how she is. If I need anything like meds or advice I spend more time speaking to his Receptionists, or other GPs. I've had paramedics out to her three times in the last three weeks due to her being in pain, which turned out to be fecal impaction. She was dianosed Alzheimerrs last November and while she was in hospital earlier this year, the consultant said she was end-stage ( suppose she had it for years but it was mild and unnoticed). Instead of me ringing ambulances it would be really nice for her GP to visit and offer some reassurances/advice.
Has anyone else noticed a total disinterest from their loved ones GP regarding their current situation? Or is this the norm?
