If you recognise the character things will be OK.

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. :wacko: 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.

:hugs:My sympathies, thats not nice.

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.

Thats good news, how is she?

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.
I'm just at the point of getting power or attorney over my mother. I keep hesitating, mostly because I have a bit of a ''use it or lose it'' approach and I fear that she will settle into almost complete dependency on me. Do you have PoA already? It might help you find out what's going on with your mother.

I wish you and your mother well.
Pneumonia can just creep up on you without you realising it.
I had it back in 1990 and had a week in hospital on strong antibiotics. I went off of food and only drank fruit squash drinks. I lost over a sone in weight.
