Yes had lots of water last night , was Sooo thirsty @Former-Member

This morning it was 6.8 before breakfast

Not sure about your hospital, but here when my mum went to hospital, she can stay there for 60 days before making a decision

The doctor was thinking about having mum is care all the time

Butt "myaged care " got her ready to go back home after 7 weeks

It is the same nationwide as My Aged Care is a federal initiative. There may we be an in home assessment along the way @Shaz51 . Whatever the outcome it is quite clear that she is not coping with the help she presently gets. Sadly I am not in a position to be able to go up and care for her.

Gentle encouragement to make your own dietary requirements a priority @Shaz51 .

Yes there will be a home assessment @Former-Member

Mum and us and the house have been through that all

Mum's name is down for care

I think next time mum goes into hospital, the doctor will say it is time to have her in care

Trying to be stricker @Former-Member

But might have to ring my endocrinologist about my night time readings

Meds might need adjusting

Can't take too high of diabetes meds as it is no good for the kidney

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Ohhh Sooo much my @Emelia8

Everything, it is just crazy , soo many decisions, soo many advices and then nothing

Sounds like I am on my own

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

That must be really hard @Shaz51 and Im sorry most of the responsibility for decisions seems to always rest with you. Decisions dont have to be made straight away though, do they?

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

No, don't have to be done straight away, very true @Emelia8

Just gets overwhelming

And then my poor bipolar bear Mr shaz can not cope and goes to bed
