Thanks once again for your replies.
Yes my sister is still very resistant to the point that when I went up on 5th Dec to collect my mum, she refused to give me her passport. She will not speak to me or discuss it. My mother was with me for a month and she did not phone once. My mum phoned several times and left messages but unfortunately the phone calls were never returned. She has not visited my mum since I took her back on Saturday night. Very sad, but the only person suffering is my mother, because she idolizes my sister….
All my mum’s symptoms in May 2007, the tremors, loss of bowels etc., were down to her lithium level being dangerously high. When the Dr changed her medication in April they should have been doing blood screening tests daily, they had not checked her blood level since the February. This is how she ended up being rushed into A&E and being put on a drip, they had to flush the lithium out of her system. Thank fully she has not had a alcoholic drink for around 7 or 8 years and had no interest in it. She actually was an alcoholic who hated the taste of it and just drunk to blot her past out.... very sad.. and unfortunately not uncommon
Thanks again for your comments and I am on the case to get my mum rehoused. I have contacted an independent advisory service who is going to take her case on. I have sent letters with the OT report to her Dr and am currently badgering social services.
Watch this space and I will let you know how I get on…
