My mum was rushed in to hospital (1) with chest infection 12th March. Transferred to local hospital (2) 22nd March for rehab prior to coming home.
29th March, fell in toilet, no nurse present despite mum being wobbly and confused. 2inch gash to head, sterri stripped in casualty, returned to ward.
Mum tearful next day and more confused, not drinking when prompted during visit.
31st March, another fall, hospital rang to say she was found on floor by bed, again no nurse present.
1st April, Mum even more ga-ga. Asked if she was eating/drinking OK, nurse said she was.
2nd April, hospital rang at 8pm, mum had fallen again, third time in five days, query hip. Ambulance took us to main hospital (3) in next county for Xray, casualty till 1am Sat 3rd, drip set up as mum so dehydrated, she is still on it. - how come they didn't notice this as hos. 2? even when I asked about her eating/drinking?? Operation to fix hip today Sunday 4th April. She now has a drip, wound dressing, catheter, (this was set up last night as she went into retention), wound drain, and oxygen mask, all of which she is now trying to remove. She is upset, confused, frightened and now miles from home. I am really fed up. Why is this happening? She.XX
