Thanks so much 3Dogs......
The worst of it was she had Chemo which knocked her for six, much worse than it was supposed to, and the radio therapy had burnt her 'entire' pelvic area to a crisp..... I'm sure if anyone does, you know the results from this kind of intensive treatment..... Well on the oncology ward they were doing what they could to treat the burns, even though she was still being blasted 5 days of the week. :eek:
Then came the fall early hours of Thursday, surgery to fix the fractured hip friday am, (same side as knee replacement and weak side due to a stroke 5 years ago!) then a weekend on the orthapedic ward with barely a doctor in site, (they don;t do weekends!)..... the staff had not one idea about treating radiotherapy burns, the only concern was getting Mum mobile within 48 hours of the surgery, 'coz this is what is done', even though Mum was almost completely immobile before the fall, :eek:
Her raw skin wasn't being treated, and because they were pumping her full of pills on the bone ward, they put her in with dementia ladies as i'm sure they thought she was too. :eek:
We were terrified of her getting an infection like MRSA as they were just dragging bed pans in and out from underneath her. They said well she'll see a doctor on monday and probably be sent back to oncology tuesday. The 2 wards couldn't have been further from each other, 1 at one end and 1 at the other end of the hospital with no communication. :eek:
Well me and my sis who was visiting from away were up that hospital for almost the whole saturday night seeing one person then another, I think we left about 4am. But we managed to get her back to oncology by the tea time of the sunday, and seeing a specialist skin nurse on the monday.
Slowly, very slowly, things have got better, but she is still to have her follow up scan.
I don't know how she did it!

I don't know either Elsie but it really is amazing what people can get through when they have to and the strength they can find from somewhere Having caring family around them certainly helps

Aww, fairclaire, sorry to hear that. It's good that he's getting some much needed help at last, but far from an ideal situation. I really feel for you and your family. I truly know how hard these things can be.

At least now, you can hopefully see that you did the right thing in seeking help. You will all benefit in the long run. Perhaps when he feels a bit stronger, you might fancy a holiday?! I highly recommend Cornwall, and will gladly meet up!!

Speaking of which, safe journey home chandlerscroft and family, nice to meet you, see you next year!

Right, I'm off to my pit. Night all. Play nice!

I used to love St Mawgan air day! Best ever. Much better than the naff show that the navy at Culdrose put on!! :D:D

Lovely new thread thank you Snap love the title

Well I've been lurking briefly the last few weeks as my friend started her new venture with the catering van & I was helping but things haven't worked out & too many things have gone wrong so she is having to sell & looking for a new job. I wasn't enjoying the 6am starts anyway lol.

Good to see some old posters back especially love Fudgie's posts & welcome back Elsie.

Happy belated birthday to skinandblister & anyone else I have missed on the old thread.

Fairclaire sending my best wishes to you hoping your DH benefits from the treatment & wish him well for his long term recovery.

Have missed the thread it's great to be back :j:j

Hi all

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet as just catching up now but on Mr T's direct website they have LOADS of baby things in the sale an on 3 for 2!!! :j

Have got some really lovely mamas and papas things, baby bouncers are in it, Lamaze toys are in it, very good deal I thought

Also found that it includes baby bedding so had a look through that and there are a lot of single, double and king size sets also included in this offer plus £10 off code when you spend £75 and delivery to store is free :T

Well chuffed! Hope everyone is ok and I haven't confused anyone with they way I have wrote it, it's nearly 3am and well past my bed time :rotfl:
