I can empathise with your mum i have had cellulitus a few times and it does make you feel very ill :( older people in hospital do get disorientated very quickly but that should get better as the infection is treated.
Sending her some strong vibes to get her up and about soon and a hug for you as its a worrying time (((((((((hugs))))))))))))

The hospital called Moms care home on Tuesday and asked them to come and assess her for going back to the home on Friday. They couldn't get hold of me so they phoned our Sal (daughter) who's a nurse. They said that they were concerned that the hospital were discharging her too early as they had before and were worried that she would go straight downhill again.Our Sal phoned the hospital and told them that they should contact her before sending Mom home and that she wanted a detailed care plan for treatment of her diabetes and infected legs..We are going to leave it to her because being a nurse she knows more than we do.................................Went to see Mom last night and she had an oxygen mask on. Still on a drip and just as confused and her legs were still weeping through the bandages.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Shirl so sorry to hear your Mum's still poorly but glad your daughters involved. She will know this, I'm sure, but the hospital should have a discharge meeting with family invited and the home and agree a discharge plan with care plan included BEFORE discharge. Dig your heels in if they dont agree.

Well our Moms out of hospital now and after a bit of persuasion from our Sally everything has been put in place for her ongoing care. I really can't say enough about the girls that care for her. They are really amazing. They are willing to go the extra mile for their residents.I worked in care meself so I know what its all about. They were so glad to see our Mom back with them
They said that it was like welcoming a part of their family back home. We really couldn't wish for anything better. Thankyou for all your good wishes and believe me they do make a difference.
