Not the best hospital visit ever

I turned up on the ward to discover Edna was in a dreadful state because she was feeling - and being - sick. I discovered she is on iron tablets , Erythromycin and Sando K all of which are renowned for making people sick. And did they write her up for an anti-emetic?

The good news is she has eaten more today than she has for several days. Also mentally she was better than she has been for several days. She could remember things she had been told earlier in the day and what day of the week it was. Also she will hopefully be moved to West Heath later this week

The bad news is they are keeping her on antibiotics for her chest so it obviously hasn't cleared up as well as they hoped.

I stayed much longer than I intended. But I still felt guilty when I left. On the one hand she was telling me to go. But on the other hand she said she wished I could stay with her all the time.

I feel very drained now I am home and and I feel as if I am getting a mouth ulcer. That visit raised my stress levels massively. I hope a good nights sleep and some calming meditation will restore my balance
