Hello to you all! Just after some advice. My mum had her 2nd major hip op on Tuesday. I personally did not think she was going to make it & the conversations with the Doctors also made me feel apprehensive and very worried. She has pulled through and she's doing ok is really all I can say!!
She's not eating or drinking much but she hasn't got her dentures with her! Would this make a difference or is it the dementia that's causing this? She also seems to be sleeping most of the time. I know when I visited her about ten days ago she was pretty much the same. Is this what I need to expect? I haven't plucked up the courage to visit her after this op. After all everything it seems falls on me. My sibling is no help in the slightest. She hasn't visited mum in over a year and this week has been very tough indeed! As wel as mum having her op on Tuesday It was my birthday on Thursday. It wasn't the happiest of days as my emotions are all over the place and I feel that the "Zest" for life has just been zapped out of me ....think it's going to take me some time to recover from all this turmoil. ?
