Re: Sleeping too much
Hey @TAB 
I can relate to wanting to be in hospital when I was younger too, but not so much when I was a kid but late teens to early 20's. But now I can't get away quick enough either. I am surprised when I went to a clinic in Sydney three years ago that I actually stayed fior five weeks- I must have felt pretty secure there.
I think majority of people who work in hospitals are realy nice & seem happy to me.

Re: Sleeping too much
Can you Skype when the doctors are visiting your Mum @Former-Member
She is worried about being taken into care - I would be too - I can't stand the thought
But your poor old Dad - eating bad food and having his drinks somewhere outside the house - I wonder how he can cope with all of this
How is he btw - is his UTI settling with hydration and antibiotics? - Your Mum and bros sure make it hard for him -
BTW - I take it that they are pensioners - do you know that there are people who can come into your home regular as domestic helpers - I have them - but I think also that your Mum is suspicious of all of this kind of attention
I'm used to it but still - I find it can be intrusive if I don't know the person coming -
What a puzzle for you - tune it out if it gets too much and you know we all care
Hugs - Dec

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @oceangirl .. yes I did have a hernia operation and a broken leg before the age of 4 re hospital then tonsils at 8 maybe.. but as I was starting to lose my way at 21 I wanted to be in a psych hosp, well I told myself that. I even did a walk thru at a major one after chatting with an voluntary patient for hours at pub a short walk from mates flat where I was staying. Pretty sure I recognised a few faces from high school..lol., sorta .. well I did and I said hello then couldn't get out quick enough plus was subject to disparagement from off duty psych nurses for random comments I made about that poor woman. We were probably in same place at same time after airryfairy major psysh hosp walk around
I was a silly boy.. oh well .. and so sorry

Hi @oceangirl
Did your mother get ill quickly - or has this been working on for a while
That is so great that you are buying her what she needs for hospital - and visiting her
That will make a difference to her recovery

Re: Sleeping too much
@Owlunar She got unwell quite quickly
I try to spend as much time with her as possible- its meant to help with recovery and gives her peace of mind that I am nearby. I am just going to buy her some slippers tomorrow and tracksuit and jacket for hospital and some toiletries.
How are you?
