So sorry dds recovery seems to have stalled. I hope she improves soon. At least you are there to keep an eye on her.2

They are sending a paramedic and she’s to pack a bag as being re-admitted. She thinks they discharged her too soon. I offered to go with her but she doesn’t think it’s necessary as she’s going straight on to a ward.What a worry 😞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. Prayers for all concerned. I'm glad you are at home this time. It doesn't take the stress away but makes practicalities easier, especially pet care.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

SA if going with her will make YOU feel better - then go. It sounds like her making light of things with her “wanting to stay in and enjoy the food” might well have been her brushing over the truth with jokes doesn’t it. 😢 You’ll only sit at home and fret about her if you don’t go - how awful you felt on holiday waiting for news proved that.

Hopefully this time they will discover the cause.I would also imagine that if you went with her you would also be inundated by phone calls from MrSA wanting to know when you were coming home!I guess you're just going to have to go with the flo... thinking of you and hoping that some good luck comes your way soon.

That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

That’s DD back in hospital, the ambulance has just picked her up. I haven’t gone with her. I really need to be around for Mr SA’s phone call from the GP as they might need to speak to me about his results. I also need to hover around in the background as he needs to be reminded to ask something.The paramedics were admiring the garden. They said it’s beautiful. It’s actually more like a jungle at the moment, everything has grown with a vengeance!The dog is so used to paramedics coming in that she never batted an eyelid.I’ve asked DD to keep me posted and let me know if she needs me to come in or bring anything. We had plenty of time to pack her bag anyway and she’s raided my mini toiletries stash.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)10
