In my last post Monday Mom had had a fall and admitted to hospital . She is still there and they are getting rid of a chest infection with antibiotics. She is very confused and believes she is in an hotel being served food and its lovely and that the other patients are guests. She is waiting for her mother to visit who died in 1981. The nurse says that they will begin to see about her having had another stroke next week after the infection is gone and they have done tests on her heart and then the social worker will advise. Friend who have called me in Canada say she looks good is very happy asking for 40000 pounds loves the hotel but very very confused and they say she must have had a stroke-some are distressed at the sudden change. If the social worker tells me that care at home is not possible now will she be transferred directly to a nursing home or will they send her home with an increasd package to wait her turn? I know I will be over next week tothe Uk to deal with this . Her lovely carer is going in with clothes etc and will take on more but not 24 hours. Thank you Skye for your help with the s/w . She rang me and said she would make sure all the assesments are done and she would liase withe hospital s/w. All friends tell me Mom is getting excellent care and hospital is the best place. She does recognize them. This is a big turn for the worse for me. Sooty
