I know this past week has been confusing for mum but yesterday she was very quite all day not like her
Today she has been quite one minute then really quite nasty the next not sure if she is coming down with something or not her breathing seems a bit laboured she is asleep at the moment if she does not improve I think a trip down A&E may be on the cards about right I was hoping to go home tomorrow but now I'm worried about mum especially if I'm on my own love larivy

Sorry to hear this Larivy. Must be really scarey on your own. I hope its something that has run its course now and she'll be back to her usual self soon. You look after your mum fantastically, remember to look after yourself too.

Tomorrow I hope will be better for you both, thinking of you, my friend xxx
Keep us up to date, please xxx

Hi larivy

Is it worth phoning NHS Direct?

Please don't go home too soon. You'll be the one who pays. X

Hi Larivy:

Sorry to hear about your Mum. I hope you are reconsidering going home tomorrow as being on your own will add enormous pressure on you. It will be of no help to your family or your Mum if you do yourself an injury.

Thinking about you alot. Love

Hi Larivy sorry to hear your mums not too good

Im guessing mum is out of her own gp's area . How about phoning your brothers out of hrs gp to see if they will send a doc out , you can often get their out of hrs number by phoning the normal practice number ,
Or nhs direct as someone already mentoned , it may save a trip to A&E

Larivy I too think you should stay there till your mum is better. I know you really want to be in your own home n own bed ect but if mum is ill n your at home there will be a lot more lifting of mum than normal n you you really shouldnt be abusing that shoulder yet.

I hope your mum is feeling better this morning Larivy. I'm with everyone on the 'Don't go home too soon' front. Would your SiL be doing the lifting or are you intending to do all the lifting yourself? :eek:
Don't compromise that healing shoulder, will you? Where would be the sense in that? x
