Hi all,
My Nan had a fall last night and was taken into hospital. They have kept her in under observation and as far as we're aware they want to let her home tonight, although her OT has advised my parents to state that there will be no one home to care for her, and, as she can't walk this will not be practical. The hospital were meant to ring my Mum this afternoon to update her on what ward my Nan's now on and what their plan is but no-one's heard a thing!
When my Dad arrived at the hospital this morning before he started work, they stated that although they didn't mistrust him, they thought that my Nan's dosage of insulin for diabetes and tablets was very high, so my Dad travelled the eight miles home to take the packets in, which backed up what he had written in the first place. They then contacted the surgery , who phoned us as they were "concerned that her dosage was too high"!! They seem to have real problem monitoring my Nan but then decide it's time to interfere once she has an unrelated fall!
My parents are on their way to the hospital now to find my Nan and practice their best assertiveness skills! We all want what's best for my Nan, and I really don't think she should be at home alone when she cannot walk.
