Battling MI whilst caring for someone with MI

Yes thank you @Bella1978

did they say how long she can stay there before you make a dscission

@Shaz51

im not sure luv. she is currently in public hospital - they are trying to get her bp down plus she hasn't been drinking enough so her kidney function (creatinine levels increased) has been compromised. they put her on a fluids drip today. im hoping they are going to do further tests while she is there. the geriatric psych will be seeing her in the morning so i'll make sure im there early to see him too so i know what is happenning. i'd like them to do an EEG, see if something else is going on. i dont think it is solely her mental health issues that are affecting her atm. ive told them i dont want her to go back to private mental health clinic unless they do the appropriate tests to rule anything else out. poor luv gets shipped back and forth from hospitals atm!

are you going to doctor this week? i recall you werent well last week luv.

ohh yes I forgot @Bella1978, @outlander, @utopia, @Bunniekins, @Former-Member

yes I went to the doctor and i have another kidney infection , but on AB`s again

also see my specialist in june

@outlander

aaw thanks luv, youre easy to talk to too! i enjoy our chats *mwah*

mum is funny atm. she gets all happy when she sees me, but i notice it doesnt take too long for me to annoy her! i sometimes just sit with her, she doesnt talk to me but i like to just spend the time with her. i didnt stay too long today though. she has her own room so she is happier though.

im so happy to hear that your pop has been ok the past few days. it does take a little bit of the pressure off doesnt it? but i totally understand that looking after your sisters isnt much of a break for you either.

oh that is frustrating, when you're so tired but hit the pillow and end up being wide awake! then u end up even more tired in the morning .. im so not impressed when that happens!

i do think i'll head to bed soon luv. hopefully i can sleep though. its hard when we have things going round and round our head.

@Shaz51

oh sweetheart, im so sorry to hear you have another infection 😞 i hope the ab's clear it up for you soon! *big hugs*

@outlander

you're right, she's not annoyed at me. im just an easy target for her sometimes though i think lol! theres times she just wants to stay quiet and there is me blabbering on ! i know she loves the company though but she is just going through such a rough time atm.

oh luv, i didnt realise you had chronic insomnia - you must be exhausted during the day yes? you said the meds your gp give you dont work anymore, is there anything else that can be done for it? hooly dooly, 4 days with no sleep?

yes, i have done just that, wrote down my questions for the social worker and what i need her to help me with, and also what i want to discuss with the psych as well. and yep, cant do much more than that hey luv?

i hope the picture came though ... its funny 🙂
