last few weeks otherwise engaged with work as the care home stopped visiting -yes AGAIN!
-but its ok I had my rant two weeks ago! I am now booked in for tomorrow 14:30 and also Boxing Day 13:30 -the rest is hit and miss as covid creates ongoing problems with visiting.
Last week I had a voicemail that mum had fell so returned the call to be answered by yet another new agancy nurse. As mum has been commenced on butamide I asked when she had started it and whether it might be the start of more falls to come. I was not impressed with the silence down the telephone when the nurse didn't know
A. mum was on it and
B. didn't know if she had been given it in the morning. I think the tone of my voice was enough to prompt a response. I'm not being funny but medications are not something to be absent minded about, especially when there are associated risks of taking them. A swift check by the nurse clarified that she had the tablet and also educated them to know what they are giving -lesson learned I hope!
Christmas is approaching as we are reminded now on TV and I am not looking forward to it, but it can't be as bad as two years ago ?
