Handhold , DM ?being admitted to hospital

Am after tearing my hair out, sorry if that sounds horrible.

My mum has a very, very long medical history of 99% mental health issues most that started before I was born and most that impact on every single day .

I’m her main carer and have been since I was a tiny wee girl .

She’s being admitted to medical receiving tonight with the usual problems (short term memory loss and confusion) and being a bit vague . Thought probably a migraine . Not sure if GP was querying an infection , I was upstairs fast asleep as this is so normal for her I assumed they’d just give her breakthrough pain relief and that’d be her .

I’m exhausted , on my own in mum’s house and in six hours I’ve got to deal with the inevitable fall out that telling her mum (my gran) will cause ... and trying to get her back home again too .

I’m also worried sick about mum , despite them saying it’s very unlikely she has dementia (normal CT etc) sometimes I look at her and honestly can’t be sure as she’s so unlike what I remember from a few years ago . She can’t use a mobile phone, switch the oven on, use the TV remote .

Just t anyone else is still up a chat would be good .

Her brother had a TIA a fortnight ago , and other brother has heart disease too so I suppose makes sense to get her checked out fully, she has hypertension as well so wouldn’t surprise me if they start her on meds for that

Sorry your mother isn’t doing well. I hope the doctors are helpful.
