Oh @Shaz51 it’s heartbreaking to see them not talk much anymore. Yes sleep is what they do a lot of.
i remember seeing my MIL and she would be asleep so we would only stay a short time.
it was hard.
i really feel for you. It’s such a difficult time.
take care lovely xxxxooo

Hi @Shaz51 ♥

I had my 4th COVID vax last week. Had a really sore arm for a couple of days, but no other issues.

Your poor Mum sounds like she is exhausted. Little wonder, with all that she has endured the last couple of months. She has been seriously ill after all, as well as having undergone surgery. And then COVID.

At her advanced age, it will take a while to regain some energy and get her breath back. Lots of sleeping would be pretty normal I expect, and not something to be concerned about. Bet she's happy you are able to visit again.

Not allowed to visit yet @Emelia8

But she loves me ringing and talking to her even if it is only for a rew minutes

Can not wait until she gets to a hospital 30kms away instead xxx

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Oh goodness, sorry @Shaz51 .

I thought she had been transferred already. It has been happening for well over a week now. Sorry for my confusion. Thats what happens when Im not on here much. 😔🌷

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

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

That is OK my sister @Emelia8 xx

Mum was suppose to be transferred on last Friday but was covid19 postive so now she is in isolation now u.til this weekend

Soo fingers crossed that there will still be a bed available for another transfer

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Well today we waited for our doctors appointment today for an hour only to find out they did not have our blood tests results

Had to make a new appointment @Dimity , @tyme , @Determined , @BlueBay , @Emelia8 , @hanami

Mr shaz is cutting back on his medication and experiencing brain spasms yesterday

And today feeling low

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

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

That's a nuisance for you @Shaz51. Hopefully the results will be OK but waiting leaves you in suspense. I'm supposed to have another blood test but I've been sleeping late, past the fasting window.

I had a tablet cutter so when I was reducing ADs I was able to reduce 1/4 tablet at a time, and came down reeeealllly slowly. Thank goodness I didn't get brain spasms, they sound awful.

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

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Hey @Shaz51 ,

How annoying to go there, wait, only to realise the blood results weren't in!

I usually phone in beforehand, especially nowadays... it seems to be taking longer.

Is the dr far away from you?

I know for me, I have to take a whole day off work just to make a dr appintment - so if that was the case, I'd be pretty annoyed.

Speak soon, tyme
