It is just before 8.00 and I am up again - very tired, very fed up and very worried.
I have gone through my original blog to remind myself about Edna's admissions and illnesses
COPD 26th August to Sept 3rd
Fluid in legs 5th Sept - ??9th Sept I think
Painful foot leading to PE diagnosis Dept 21st to Sept 27th This was when Warfarin was started
7th Oct the weekend when the doctor was called because of pain and prescribed Diazepam.
At that point I stopped blogging becasue I was so fed up with everything but from memory on November 4th she had a fall - but didnt get admitted from C2 - but was diagnosed with AF on that admission
November 19th was the start of the long a dmission that ended with her going to West Heath. That was the first time hallucinations had been recorded with her . The reason for the admission was pain in her chest. That was the night she had a night sitter because it was felt she was unsafe on her own. That admission ended on 5th Feb
19th Feb she was back in Selly Oak after a fall and was kept in becasue of confusion. She was discharged on April the 14th with the new diagnosis of dememtia.
April 14th to July 10th has been the longest spell without a hospital visit or any crisis since her first admission in August.
I wonder where go from here?
Later
She has broken her leg - so I guess she will be in hospital for a little while. I have done the run to Fosters to get nighties and stuff. And frankly I am knackered.
She will be moved to a trauma/orthopaedic ward asap.
Obviously the broken leg is the result of the fall. She now thinks what caused the fall was her tripping over the strip that holds the carpets together -so what was the 'pain' caused by the 'excercises' ?
Imagination? Manipulation? Will I ever know? And does it matter?
