As the evenings get darker so does my world. My mother has had another fall (this time in the bathroom at the care home) and has cut her head. She was admitted to hospital but returned later in the day. She now is constantly in a wheel chair...all bent over to one side (what causes this I wonder...she is so bent over to one side..she can hardly eat or drink) I came back last night from visiting her and feel so down. Who do I turn to? No one seems to tell me anything at the care home...its all normal to them...yet no medical advice can be given. Is she just giving up? What can I do? I have thought of physically picking her up and taking her home....even for a few days to see if she picks up. I know she doesn't like it at the home...but I'm sure shes too out of it to know now. If I insisted she went to hospital (is it dehydration again?) They just give her the drip...a few more tests and pulling about....say shes medically ok and send her back to the home. To me last night she looked so poorly. Shes lost so much weight. Does anyone else have similiar experiences with their mum/dad? I would be grateful of any advice.....how long can this all go on for? I feel so much for my mum...and cant stand to see her like this. PP xx
