In A&E with the MIL. Fallen at home again. She's only been back home 8 weeks since the last fall in July.

The place is rammed to the rafters with beds in the middle of corridors.

The fun starts again

:sad:
 
I went to a proper hairdresser place yesterday for the first time since I was about 18; the last time I went was to get a f*cking awesome perm in the mid/late-80s*

Since then I have mostly gone to a barber and instructed just shave it the same length all over - the length has varied from 1 to 3, just to keep a bit of variety ;)

But now I am sitting here with a well styled barnet, looking proper dapper**

MIL is reasonably comfy. Now in a cubicle but loads folk in the middle of corridors. It's like a major incident scene. I've not seen it that busy. I had priority first class treatment last time I was there but could only see the ceiling for weeks.

MIL told ambulance crew that she had a stroke 9 years ago but never tells them about heart failure, previous heart attacks, replacement valve, and type 2. Never had anything else... :laugh: She's been asked before if she has ever had a heart attack, no she says. Doctor says, well this heart trace says you have.

We waited until she was hooked up to monitors. She has AF as well and her heart rate and rhythm is all over the show. Suddenly goes from 40 bpm to 70 and the rhythm was all over. BP was 194 over 76. :ohmy:

Her legs just stopped working and she tumbled. Fortunately someone was with her. She was on the floor for 3 hours until an ambulance crew could stretcher her away (too big for people to lift).

It's probably time to talk about a care home. Since April last year after falling ill, she has been home just 11 weeks. Managed 3 weeks at home in July then just 8 now. It's just not safe.

All the best, @fossyant. It doesn't sound too positive. Hope you and your wife and family keep strong.

[QUOTE 4686047, member: 9609"]I tried to make a cake a few nights ago (I think you were in that thread, the one where I hurt my knee) Anyways, after it all went wrong the dog eat most of the cake mix and then went round the house vomiting it up into differant rooms, so with my borked knee I was having to clean up dog vomit, it wasn't a happy time. The dog was fine, I had to make him anoher dinner, as all that come up with the cake mix.

Only an idiot would have a dog.[/QUOTE]
I rather like my dogs, they are quite good dogs, though. They don't particularly like cake, either. They do like cream cheese, well enough I can put their pills in it and have them eat it anyway.

I shouldn't laugh... :blush:

At least cats (in my experience at least) are more discerning over what edibles they pilfer. Though my mum once had a cat who broke into the neighbour's kitchen and stole a whole string of sausages... :wacko:
