Hi all,as you may be aware my mum whose been in hospital since 23.11.17was due to be discharged on a full care package of 2 carers 4 times a day 2days of daycare plus early discharge support team of ongoing physio .
This weekend mum was transferred from the rehab unit to the main hospital as it now turns out she had hospital aqurired pnuemonia.
I can't seem to find out if she will be returning to the rehab unit(mum dead against it!)or if when the pnuemonia had been sorted she will be discharged from the main hospital.
To cut a long story as short as possible the discharge team advised a care home mum needs 24/7 care they say, mum has been deemed to have no capacity,however I wanted mum home & this is most definitely what mum wants,but I'm really really worried I won't cope with her at home,her mobility is almost non existent her attitude is difficult towards me at times and I have fibromyalgia.
Went for a docs appointment today for my fibromyalgia and ended up in tears ,my doctor is very concerned and wants me to think very carefully before mum is discharged,she's so concerned that she has prescribed a week's course of sleeping tablets so I can get some rest,as you can see they are not working, i cant eat or sleep for worrying ,feeling guilty, dreading mum coming home or possibly worse telling her she can't come home.
Although the s.w. st the rehab hospital who was on the discharge team agreed with me mum has lost capacity other staff who spoke to mum today for 40 mins don't seem to think so,I think that's hostess mode kicking in(new ward new staff etc)mum certainly doesn't believe that anything is wrong with her except her walkings a bit poor,which she says will be fine when she gets home!!!how this miracle is going to occur I don't know!
Please had anyone any answers 'cos just now I feel I want to run away from it all,I've already planned to say I'm not well Wednesday and Thursday(tummy bug) because I just need a break from hospital visiting or I feel I will go mad.
Am I being selfish I feel like a complete and utter expletive
