She's dying isn't she?

Mum discharged herself from hospital today.

Hiatus hernia. She can't eat or drink anything. Literally throws it straight back up.

Can't walk because her lower back is buggered.

UTI in blood. Been given antibiotics but nothing seems to be giving her a boost.

Sat in a sodding chair for 36 hours at A&E. Not slept for at least 48. Said she just wanted to go home.

I'm really scared 😭

MNHQ EDIT to gently suggest that MNers new to this thread take the time to read through all of the OP's posts before answering

I’m so sorry, OP. Xx

This is such a tragedy.

PebbleDashAtOne · 20/11/2025 23:56

Oh no. So very sorry.

Nottogetapenny · 20/11/2025 23:52

I’m so sorry, the only consolation is now she is out of pain. You did all you could and she will know how much you and your brother loved her.
Take care of yourself, memories of your mum will last forever. 🌺

Lalgarh · 20/11/2025 23:51

Yeah the initial admission and treatment by hospital was fairly dismal from OPs account

sleepwouldbenice · 20/11/2025 23:48

What a rollercoaster of mess you’ve been through. Sending many hugs. X

lazyarse123 · 20/11/2025 23:43

So sorry you're going through this nightmare op. And your brother too it is heartbreaking 💐

Apileofballyhoo · 20/11/2025 23:37

I'm so sorry, OP. She is altogether too young to be saying goodbye to. I'm so so sorry.

ohfourfoxache · 20/11/2025 23:34

Oh darling I’m so, so sorry 💔

Nothing is going to make this better. Just take everything minute by minute, or second by second if a minute is too much

Sending the gentlest of hugs x

Roomforapony · 20/11/2025 23:33

May her memory be a blessing for you all.

I’m so sorry OP. My lovely Mum left us on Monday in similar (but different) circumstances. It’s so hard. Wishing you all the best.
