Hi all
Mum has been in hospital for just over 2 weeks now and is still very agitated. No amount of medication seems to calm her down. A far as I can see she is being well cared for - I've been impressed with the staff and the care. However, last week she approached another patient who pushed her over and she sprained her hand. I've received a phone call tonight to say she was found at 6am this morning crawling around the ward. She's been checked out and is OK. I know it's difficult to watch everyone 24/7. Has anyone else had smilar experiences?
Also the care home sh'e been in for 6 weeks I think are going to say soon they want her room because they have a waiting list. They do have residents with dementia, but no one as agitated as Mum. I feel pressurised.
Just to write all this has helped. I hope it will seem better tomorrow when I'm less tired.
