Hello again.
Thanks for your help regarding medication for mam, now she is on Diazapam and we are keeping fingers crossed.
But yesterday her doctor in the hospital has said he wants to put her on a Section 2, apparently for the protection of the nursing staff. I am absolutely terrified that she might end up being permanently 'sectioned'......although doctor tells me that this will only be for 28 days and then will automatically come off the Section. Cant get out of my head that I will be losing control of the care of mam and handing it over permanently to 'others'. Dont know what to do, Im scared for both of us and dont want mam to become a zombie at the mercy of phychiatric staff. Am I worrying needlessly, or should I trust the doctor?
I didnt want her go into the hospital in the first place and now I feel that I have let her down. She would be moritified if she knew what was happening.
Feeling awful.
