Mum has had leg ulcers for a while. Unfortunately some have become infected. Chatted with her last weekend and mentally she was fine. But became very confused on Monday and now in hospital from a mix of confusion, interaction of antibiotics and her normal medication and also dehydration. I'm now staying with dad but hospital visits very difficult as mum not an easy patient in her current state ( normally she is a very nice person!). Hoping drip and medication kick in soon for all our sakes, particularly the other sick ladies in the beds adjacent to mum as she isn't very quiet as in her disoriented state she has lost all normal self awareness!

So sorry snail, that sounds really tough. Another member of the Linds fan club - and I can attest that she's just as wonderful when you see her on a semi regular basis ![]() |
