So, some of you will recall my previous posts in relation to my 67yr old mum who has suffered from several strokes & had a triple heart bypass in 2017. She has had several stays in our local hospital in recent months due to be unsteady on her feet & getting confused a lot.
She has been home one week after another 3 week stay, after falling down several times & paramedics attending 3 times in 4 days! Due to her safety, they admitted her into a ward.
Problem is, she's now worse than ever! She had another uti which they were slow at treating & did very little physio with her, so she has zero stability now.
And the hospital packed her home, full of laxatives so I've had a complete poonami on my hands as soon as she got home! I think she still has a urine infection because she needs to pee all the time. I'm up every couple of hours with her, changing & washing her, changing her bedding because she's become incontinent. She has no strength at all so I can't even get her on the commode. In the last 15hrs I've changed her bottom sheet 3 times because it's wet. I am absolutely shattered. And getting resentful.
We have nurses coming in 3 times a day, but she's already been before they arrive, so I'm still doing the donkey work. The physios have said she's a 'fall risk' so she's to stay in bed until a 2nd assessment is done, so the nurses can't help get her on the commode anyhow!
I honestly don't want to do this anymore. Without droning on for hours, my mum wasn't a marvellous model mum to begin with & I truly believe she has some sort of autism/aspergers that is undiagnosed.
There is no Christmas in my house this year because I just can't be bothered.
Does anyone want to adopt me so I can escape this shit life? 😶
