  • Hi ,

    So sorry to read this; I wonder if it is worthwhile you speaking to your GP about how you feel. What would happen to your mum if you got ill for instance.

    You need support here to not make yourself ill - and if that were to happen what would happen to your mum then.

    My dad ended up in a care home, my wife's dad ended up in a care home both because we could not possibly offer the 24 hour care they needed. The support of a group of people that allowed us to become loving children rather than a nurse was something we all appreciated.

    Ambulance came day took her into hospital everything she try to eat just kept coming back up she wouldn't take her medication I had to let nurse know they decided be better take her to hospital at least she will get right care there hopefully speedy recovery home but thank you for replying to me means a lot

  • Hi

    Fingers crossed that she makes that speedy recovery and comes back to home, certainly that she went to hospital is a positive sign that she has not given up and might be just the point to raise of how to avoid going to hospital again in the future. When Janice wants to go to hospital I know she is ill and pretty much the first thing she wants is to get back out again.

    Take care and hope you can get a bit of a rest yourself while others are taking care of your clearly loved mum.
