Hospital trip

I haven't been on the site for a very long time, so I was shocked to read your post. Man, we have to be their advocates all the time. I have lost almost all faith in the medical profession this year with my parents issues.

I' so sorry to hear your sister is not helping you deal with this. My sister is at the beach too. I just had to give her money to pay for medical bills and they went to the beach for a few days..I just don't get it. I guess some of us are just better children than others, ha.

I know you won't back down, regarding your mother. The day my mother died, I called the hospital at 4:30 in the morning and asked should I go to work or come in. They said she is fine, just go to work. She died at 8:15. I felt in my heart I should be there, but I believed them instead of my gut. Go with your gut!

Unexplained injuries are always worrying. Good luck with this Bill and hope your Mom is getting better. I agree with Concerned daughter's post---she's lucky to have you

I hope your mom is doing a bit better. I myself have had this. A dogbite caused mine, I thought we had cleaned the wound sufficiently but woke up with an arm swollen from wrist to shoulder, so we rushed to the hospital. Half a day on an iv and heavy duty antibiotics healed me.

It can be caused by the tiniest of scratches,bug bites etc., I am wishing you strength, give your mom a big hug and please forgive your sister. Not everyone can do what we as caregivers do all the time, it does not make us better or stronger, we are just made that way.

Take care Bill

I am very sorry about your mother's wounds. I am not any medical expert on this, but you may need to check on the caregivers in the home. Did she scratch a lot without attention? Did they turn her a lot in the bed soi she does not have bedsore? I will check this out also as it looks very serious and mysterious.

Good luck,

Nina
