UTI's in older people can often present dementia-like symptoms of confusion.
These maybe useful:

We are now at Woolhampton and totally knackered, I've had a shower, cooked a quick meal and all I'm fit for is my bed, and only to sleep.
Another who used to live in Chester - i lived just off Hoole Road. We loved it there and didn't want to move away, but OH's job moved and staying would have denied him any chance of promotions, we felt we were too young to settle. Camelot - have you walked the walls? that's always good.
Wonderful day today - a walk in the hills was in order. we could see snow on the tops of some (currently i am in West Wales) but the sun shone on us for a lot of the day.
Back to the grind tomorrow.
Welcome back Susie
Hope everyone had a good Easter Sunday xx
This sort of hay fever is a reaction to us disturbing the dust of things we have had stacked in boxes. I have cleaned like mad this week but I can't keep up.
Social services is where a call to the Red Cross will end up. Social services are
closed until Tuesday anyway, they will have their own urgent things to deal with after being closed for the weekend.
The red cross have people on standby all over the country for emergencies. They deal with a family once everyone if out of the house in the case of a fire and they deal with this sort of thing. They would go out to your mum and assess the situation.
They may call the doctor, she may go to hospital for an assessment, they would then have a better idea of the problems. Your mum would most certainly get assigned a local volunteer to regularly visit her. Social services take weeks to make assessments in normal times but with the cuts they all have they are very reluctant to start something they cannot complete.
They would expect you to fly over (as if you are in the next town) and sort it and then them to come in and arrange a permanent car package. This is why elderly people are getting left in hospital not just for a few extra days but the weeks have stretched into months. Social services have never been adequately funded because government interferes all the time.
I hope you are asleep now Hester, and feel better in the morning.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend and you are not too bored camelot.
