Mum is still in hospital and we're not any further on, or know anymore about what is going to happen but I got to go see her today and drop her off a bag with a few clothes in. I rang this morning and asked if I could talk to someone about going to see mum and if she was staying in today. We arranged slot for me to visit mum at lunchtime today and ward sister asked how mum was coping at home and how her confusion was. I told her about mum being mixed up and talking about her mum, my dad and us as children and wanting to go looking for them more and more now and not knowing who I was most of the time which means sometimes I have to leave her and try to calm her down over the phone, but then she's on her own and sometimes that's bad too and that's how we'd ended up here. She asked me to take mums SWs number in with me when I went to visit, which I did, along with mine and my sisters mobiles, the MC no and also the OTs number who had called me before I went to hospital and said he would speak to them too if they wanted.
I went to see mum this lunchtime, she was happy to see me and though she did ask a few times if she could go home, say she'd been there too long and was bored, she didn't get upset when I said she still had stay a bit longer so they could make sure she was ok. She did say Our Andrea still hasn't been to see me but that's normal for mum. Her nose had started scabbing over and she had a few bruises coming out round her grazes, but she was ok. Boy oh boy she came out with a right story though about what had happened and where she'd been before she went in hospital, don't know where what she said came from but it was very weird. There were some bits she said that I figured were mixed up bits of memories from the police coming on wednesday and being in hospital and moving wards yesterday. She said she'd been scared when she was there, but she didn't seem distressed when she was telling me about it. I kept starting bits of conversation but mum kept going back to this story she thought had happened to her before she came in to hospital. I kept saying well it's over now and you're safe now, the nurses will look after you now, she'd say yes or nod and didn't seem scared then, she seemed quite calm while I was there.
I looked at the clock about 1/4 to 1 and mum said Do you have to go now? and I said Not yet I can stay till 1. Mum said Can I come see you off when you go? I said I don't think so I think you'll have to stay in here. Mum asked Why? so I said Cos there'll be other people coming in for next visit and they won't want lot of people on corridors passing. Mum said Ok. The lady opposite mum needed the loo but they brought her a commode and shut the curtains she didn't look up to walking. Mum said after a couple of minutes I want a wee. I said I'd check with nurse when she came back as she'd just gone to change gloves after helping lady opposite. Mum said We can walk about and go if we want I've been going all day. I said I'll just check where they are. Mum said Oh they're all over the place here I've never seen a place with so many loos. The nurse came back so I asked if we were alright to go to loo and where they were and then mum and I went. She asked if I had to go now and I said yep it'll be time for me to go now but I'll walk you back to your room. When we got to mums room I could see the next visitor in her room had arrived so thought I'd better not go in. Mum said Bye love, gave me a hug, said thanks for coming. I'd said See you soon. She said that's my bed, it wasn't it was another ladys the one with the visitor that had just arrived so I said The one at the end's yours mum, near the window and mum said Oh yeah and went in. The nurse said Thanks and said bye. I hung around at the door to watch mum got back to her chair ok and as she sat down she saw me and waved and smiled. I waved back said Bye and love you lots and mum said Bye love still smiling and waving.
