All this talk of shares and Mr T, I was wondering and I have 2 x £1 saving stamps on my Mr T's savings card, so does this count? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nice try but I'm afraid not:rotfl: On a more serious note I know what you are going through with your mam. Not really a hugs person but I'll send them anyway:o

Just realised that all I have done is moan tonight, sorry

To change the mood:

Fantastic pic Meerkatsmimm - DS1 looks lovely and DS2 so cute - you are a lucky lady :j :j

You have a good old moan, you deserve to and its good to get stuff off your chest now and again.

I'd love to believe in karma too, but the simple fact is the world is becoming more and more selfish and nasty and that in itself says karma sadly doesn't exist......I soooo wish it did though.

Hugs to you....and anyone else who needs one.

3dogs sorry to hear about you're mums care home. :mad:

Thanks hun - unfortunately, there is little we can do. If you challenge the staff, they go all defensive and if we were to make an official complaint, well ....... Mam would still be there, under their care, and you just wonder what they might do

If was just as bad, or actually worse, when she was in the hospital for 3 weeks before being transferred. She went in when my brother, her full-time carer, found her slumped over her bed, having been sick. The paramedics identified the dark stuff in her vomit as dried blood, called coffee grinds, so she was admitted to hospital straight away. This was on the Tuesday, and she only got a drip fitted on the Friday after my sis and brother persistantly asking why she wasn't on one. They had done a 'swallowing test' on admission and she choked on a sip of thickened juice, so they put her on nil by mouth, but, I don't know if anyone has any experience of this thickener stuff, but I can assure you that I would choke on a sip of it too :eek: I got up there on the Saturday, and it wasn't until the Friday of that week when we were finally allowed to see the doctor and ask what was going on, and we asked how she was receiving any nourishment, that they agreed to try her on a tube feed. Unsuccessful attempt at that on the Saturday, due to them fitting it late in day and her pulling it out during night, when it was supposed to be fitted in morning so they could keep an eye on it. Then, still on NIL by Mouth, on the monday the Sister told us that a carer had inadvertently given her some custard to eat, despite NIL by Mouth sign above her bed. We asked what Mam had done, and the Sister said that she'd eaten it all. We had been telling them that Mam was eating very well before admission, cereal and fruit in morning and 2 course evening meal, with sandwich during day and numerous biccies and cups of tea, without any problems, and in fact we had been secretely giving her desserts and soup when we visited as she was getting very week and we knew she could eat. So they eventually agreed to put her on soft foods, and she immediately ate them with no problems :mad:

Anyway, as I say before she was admitted she could get herself up, get dressed herself, come downstairs on the stair-lift, make herself a cup of tea when brother was out, go up and down to the toilet, and potter about the house, get undressed at night and get into bed. My brother looked after all her meds and gave her them as due. After 3 weeks in the hospital, she was transferred to this Continuing Are Unit and was on soft foods only, drinking with a straw only, doubley incontinent (coz they put a tube in her as she kept wanting a bedpan and left it in so long, she couldn't do without it), unable to stand let alone walk or popper about, and very very weak

It was bad enough in the hospital with us to visit and see to Mam and to make sure things were done, but I felt so sad for the ladies in there who had no family or friends to visit, and were left shouting for help and ignored, food and drink put where they couldn't reach it, and just dealt with in such an indignified way and spoken to like dirt at times

Hi 3Dogs,

It says I'm the Quiz Machine Addict, it doesn't say I ever get any questions correct or win any money out of it. :p:p

That said, I am pleased with my 3rd in Snap-ant's quiz in January. :T

Nonsense! I can't see any moaning here. All I see is someone who needed to get something off their chest (this is the best place to do this) and now needs a little hug or two. :grouphug:

Sorry about your Mum, 3Dogs; being a sufferer of, sometimes, pretty bad Asthma myself, and also having a mentally-disabled child in Care I can certainly understand your concerns about care levels.

OB
