My Mum

Thanks for all the lovely messages re my Mum
She was fine after her fall but four days later could not get out of bed
Luckily she has  her metpac buzzer She was taken by ambulance to hospital and had has been there ever since
 Doctor Arrogant  said it was her sciatica and she would have to just get used to it as it would keep happening and not much they can do because she is 87
I hope one day he gets to feel that sort of pain
The next doctor who was quite lovely said it was a crumbling disc in her back
I questioned as to wether maybe she had a hairline fracture OH No way It is the disc
Moved from  Emergency to the ward and they gave her a scan (Third since her first fall) and now it is a fracture
Maybe I should have been the doctor
She was treated with pain killers
Today she was moved to Rehab
I have been over every day so nothing much happening on the sewing front

  1. And the medical people wonder why we, the untrained public, don't have any faith in them!!!! Hopefully things will improve for your Mum.

    No matter what they say time is limited and you will find a way to spend every moment you can find to be there.

  8. Illene, you're right to keep seeking information for your Mum, gosh I'm so sorry to read of her situation.
    I love your term of Doctor Arrogant - I called my back surgeon something unprintable a while back - all the bedside manner of a rattlesnake with a hangover!!
