I need a very strong drink.

I've got lots of beer here but maybe the brandy would better meet your needs right now. It's the top bell.

Until twenty minutes ago, the exact location of my 97 year old Mother was not known. Not known by the hospital or hospital transport or A and E, or the Observation ward. The doctor's surgery does not give their out of hours number on their recorded message.

The doctor attended my Mother this morning, and diagnosed pneumonia and called an ambulance to get her to Hospital. That was sort of a shock, but also not unexpected, as she has a chest infection and is very confused. So, ambulance takes her to hospital, and this is where things get completed. Early this evening one ward (not the ward that my Mother was not admitted to) phones me to say that she is on her way home. Several hours and umpty-two phone calls later it turns out she is not at home, not at the hospital and not in hospital transport. According to the hospital, she was not admitted, and was sent home. There are other complications too boring to detail here.

I think I will stick to strong tea with two sugars thank you.

My sympathies. Do you now have any idea where she might be?

She is now home. I spoke to the ambulance man, and her neighbour who saw the ambulance arrive. This is odd, to say the least, considering how seriously ill she was, according to the doctor.

That's something at least. Not a lot but something....

Oh @Speicher! What a nightmare.
Hope your mother is not as poorly as you feered and you have now had that strong drink .

 

[Reynard]

How bizarre @Speicher

Hope it's all sorted xxx

 

[Reynard]

On the contrary...tell us more....tell us all.




Edit: This sounds far from mundane though.

Will reveal all tomorrow - given that there's enough left for tomorrow night as well.

Sounds like the hospital may have come to a different conclusion to her doctor. Let's hope they got it right.

I suspect @Reynard may have been in her kitchen again.

In a nutshell yes. The doctor was very concerned. She was seen in A and E. Pneumonia is a serious long-term condition. I find out more tomorrow.
