To be worried about my mum?

[PumpkinCosySpice]

My mum is early 60s and is usually jolly and healthy with a good appetite etc. I don’t see her often as I’ve moved 4 hours away.

I last saw her in July and we usually make a good weekend of it and have takeaways. She said at this point she wasn’t drinking as she hadn’t felt well since having a flu type virus a few months prior, she also said she hadn’t really had an appetite. She looked ok and hadn’t appeared to lost any weight.

things clearly haven’t got better with her appetite and she went to docs for bloods, who rang her the next day to say to go to urgent care to be put on a drip. She was kept in on a drip for 2 days.

AIBU to go up and see her? She doesn’t really tell me much this is all from dad.. do you think it’s something bad? Or anyone had anything similar?

Unreasonable as in I don’t want to panic her.. or panic unnecessarily. Or even put myself on them if she just wants to rest. I don’t know what to do.

You are concerned, so show her.
You love her, so tell her.
4 hours is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Call her. If not her the hospital.

If she was told to go to urgent care straight away and has been admitted and put on drip, she is probably panicking already. I doubt that you visiting will make her panic any more than she already is.

I wish your mum a speedy recovery.

It takes me 12 hours and half a year of savings to go see the people I love when they're ill
4 hours you can do in a day if you wanted
A little day trip to say hey mum, heard you were in the hospital, I'm here to cheer you up, see how you are, be with you even if it's just for a few hours for peace of mind and getting more info is absolutely worth it

Definitely go and see her.
Even if you get there and she's perfectly fine, she will be pleased to see you.

Thanks everyone, I’ll think I’ll go up tonight but leave DS with my husband as he can be a bit of a handful. She never gives me any details to avoid me worrying which makes me worry more! She just said that her and food aren’t friends at the moment so I don’t know if she’s vomiting, just isn’t hungry or what really.
Hopefully ill find out as I don’t think I’ll be able to settle down here not knowing anyway.

Last time was sick & had to go to hospital last year my daughter made a special visit for the night with flowers and it really cheered me up. I would go.

Don’t want to alarm you but this was my mother and it was ovarian cancer. 9/10 it won’t be anything as serious as that but go and let her see you love her.

Go and see her and ask if she'd share her blood test results. I'd be worried

Thanks everyone. I’ve stayed up here with her as she’s currently waiting for more tests - they’ve basically said they’re not sure what it is until she has these investigations but whatever it is, they are pretty sure it’s something serious. I’m trying not to show it, but I’m sick with worry.

Your mum is in the best place to get the treatment she needs. Glad you went to see her.
