Well weird phone call tonight from Mum. Nurse had rang me and put Mum on the phone. She is crying again and saying everyone is horrid to her although I can only understand 20% of what she is saying. Then suddenly she stops crying and with great clarity and calmness asks me how my OH got on with his endoscopy today. I said it was all clear and maybe it was just a one off problem and not an ‘intermittent fault’ as those are harder to fine. She said that all sounds positive and then just as quick the switch flipped again and she starts crying again as she says there are lots of people in the lounge and there is no room for her as she doesn’t know anyone and she hasn’t had her tea but they are all eating in there. I tell her it is a buffet tea so she can go and help herself or could get one of the staff to fetch her a selection. If she didn’t want to stay then she could watch the programme about dogs on the television. She said that she thought she might do that. So I said she should hand the phone back to the nurse and I would ask the nurse to help her put the tv on as it was a bit complicated being a new system. She seemed happy with that. I know I have read others who have mentioned similar conversations but it is just so strange. The nurse said she was going to try and get an urgent appointment for Mum at the Dr’s. Strangely enough it was the same nurse who said there was no reason yesterday.
