Pirate  so sorry to read this 

Sorry to hear that pirate.Can you see the doctor/consultant and ask him/her? Is your mum diabetic,my late mother was and it can cause foot leg  circulation problems.

I dunno what to say Pirate 

 

And I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that.

 

Keep an eagle eye on what they're telling you and do your research -as I know you'll do  

Aww pirate - sorry to hear this  Yes, is there somebody who can tell you and your Mum the best course of action? xx

Sorry to hear your news pirate 

I'm really sorry to hear that Pirate I hope you can find someone to give you some information and advise you what to do for the best

long story

but first time ive seen ma in ages-Big sis is in charge-so i dont get told much-gonna have to grow a pair & find out stuff

it said 'code red' above her bed so googled when i got back-it means that crash team are waiting

im in a bit of a daze here

sorry to read this Pirate

 

see if you can find out what day the doc/consultant in charge of your Mum does his ward round during the week and arrange to be there and have a chat 

 

its the weekend no one much makes decisions till the week day rounds 

aww pirate..  That smillie looks trite ,but i really hope you get some good news.

im sure she'll be ok

she's been through 10 world wars & ran out of stockings twice

 

 

ive decided to be upbeat about it or i'll go bonkers

 

keep calm and deep breathes and stop googling tonight 

 

I lay in a bed for 2 days with the wrong name and nil by mouth - nothing to do with me what so ever - the staff just hadnt bothered changing the chart above the bed and hadnt noticed till MrH brought it to their attention 

You have every entitlement to know what's going on.

 

Make sure you get that info  

 

You'll be in my thoughts tonight.

 

 

that's the best way pirate - worrying is pointless if you can't do anything.  As others have said, try to get a word with the consultant yourself if your sis doesn't let you know what's going on.    Hope she's ok x

Yeah mrsh is right, my mom had the wrong name written above her bed for ages when she was is hospital, might not be connected to your mum. I remember you are held at arms length with your mom by your sister when I read the title. MrsH is right try to be there when the doctors do the ward rounds, no one else can tell you/decide anything. Hope you get the answers and treatment she needs quickly

yeah

its difficult

really awkward

so i'll sort it somehow

 

i've always said the bomb will drop & my ma will still be sitting there in her chair ordering the cockroaches to put the kettle on

 

well

i feel abit better telling you lot

OH is no good-very automatic about things

autism coming through i suppose

 

so i'll put headphones on for a bit

and probably make my headache worse

You'll always have the good in your soul Pirate.

 

Can see that from 300 mile off.

 

Pirate, so sorry to hear that xxxx

 Aww Pirate, I'm sorry to hear this.

Could you maybe make an appointment to speak to your mum's consultant?

We try and conform.

 

But it ain't us  

Outside in.

Pirate you have as much right as your sister to hear things from the docs etc..

I'm a recluse.

 

 

Exactly! 

 

Hope things improve for you 

Ouchie pirate your poor mum! I hope there's something they can do to save her leg, pleased keep us updated, we'll be praying for you both

Sorry to read thyat Pirate,you and your sister will  do whats best for mum.

Our friend has v poor circulation and the docs are talking about a balloon inserted into the vein to increase circulation.

His feet and hands are always cold n often purple

A stent or angioplasty I think? My uncle's had that done 

He's meant to be having them in his feet

So there are options for people with v poor circulation

Pirate you do make me smile even when you are upset 

 

Don't let your sister keep you out of the loop.  You have every right to know what's going on.  

aww pirate - so sorry to hear this and yes Autism will create that response

Hey pirate, hope all goes well xx

 

On the code red thing - ask them at the ward what it means . It could just mean they'd resuscitate if needed ( had a rammy with the hospital my dad was in cause they'd put a DNR notice on his notes without asking him or letting us know)- check it out though , ask them anything you want to know, you're family, they have to tell you if you ask .

 

Bet the cockroaches are working on their teamaking skills ! 

Awww. Pirate that sounds horrible for you all.  Do your best to keep on top of what's happening or the regrets start to hurt. Most importantly, make sure the old bird is kept well watered and fed. She may say she's doing ok but she may lie to protect you. 

And make sure she gets out.

Hope all turns out well and you're included in whatever is happening Pirate. Your comments about her stockings made me lol over my morning coffee and fag x
