Re: Not sure what to do !!!

hey sis @Shaz51 i am so sorry i haven't been on your post to see how your mum is going.

I am reading the past few days posts and we had to do exactly the same thing with my MIL when she ended up in hospital. At this point it all got too much for us and she thought she was coming home but she was in hospital for 2 weeks then transferred to a nursing home. She never came home 😞

We had to have a special meeting with OT, doctors, physio, our support manager and they all agreed it would be the best decision especially as it was affecting my mental health.

i totally understand how difficult this time is for you and mr shaz, i really feel for you. pls know i care and am thinking of you.

love xxxx

Oh no @Shaz51 lots of hugs my friend. Wishing your mum a speedy recovery

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

oh no!!!!! @Shaz51 that is not good news.

she must be in so much pain, but then again at least in hospital she will be given strong meds to control the pain.

cracked pelvis - oh that has to hurt. i am so sorry this has happened to your mum

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Oh damn! @Shaz51 How come they didnt pick this up with the last lot of xrays? A fractured pelvis is not good and I am sure will be painful. Though I dont think they will do much for it other than rest and make sure she stays off her feet. No weight bearing for a while I suspect. Hopefully, if thats what it turns out to be, she heals quickly. But it will likely mean a longer stay in hospital, or care of some sort.

Any COVID results for you yet?
