Update on Mum
It seems Mum has had a stroke, her speech is still not making sense and she is a bit confused. They havent really tried her walking yet. Hopefully she will get a scan today or tomorrow.
At least there are going to admit her.
Last night they wanted to send her home(before any tests) because they didnt have the beds...due to cut backs. My sister told them that was their problem, not hers and she refused to take her home. Dad wanted to take Mum home as well. They asked Mum what she wanted to do, and she nodded to stay.
I am usually full of praise of the National health Service but sometimes you just shake your head in amazement at some of the decisions.
Hubby and sister have persuaded me not to go down just yet. As they put if I went down I would be someone else they would have to worry about. Mum is stable at the moment, sitting up, so not too bad on the scale of things.
I feel like crying I feel so useless. Even at a time when Mum and Dad need me I cant be there to help. I will check with my GP tomorrow whether I can travel. Maybe I can go down after Mum comes out of hospital.
I still fear the worse is this the thin edge of the wedge.......
