Allotments 4 All

Just had aphone call to say the me Moms in Hospital again. She has very bad cellulitis in her legs. She was poorly this morning and the careworker called the doc in. When he saw the state of her legs he was not amused, He sent her straight to the hospital for intraveinous antibiotics. I spoke to the distict nurse earlier in the week about her poor legs and asked her to get a specialist appt. Just hope that she gets the  treatment she needs now.

Its so worrying when our parents are suffering, hope all works out ok for her and that she recovers quickly x

sorry to hear your mom's not too good, Shirl..I don't know, we're a constant worry to them when we're small and they are a constant worry to us as they get older ..hope she gets treated a.s.a.p..Ray's mum has ulcers on her legs, this is 18 months and still getting treated twice a week  :(

Sorry to here your mom is poorly. They should sort it out in hospital for her, but it is a worry. Hope she is better soon.

hope she gets better soon

Hope mum gets better soon.
She has a great carer, i deal with elderly and vunrable all the time at work and some of the carers don't get involved with calling doctors as they don't have time (not knocking carers as i think they do a great job). Some even call us to call ambulances :o

Went to see her this afternoon and she looked quite poorly and was very disorientated. Her blood sugar was way up so she was put on a drip. her legs had been left unbandaged and when I looked I couldn't believe how bad they were.Lets hope that this time they get things sorted.

healing vibes from this direction, shirl!! ;)

At least she's in the best place for treatment now Shirl. I'll get those Essex special healing vibes to work immediately. ;)

Thanks for the vibes folks

QuoteShe has very bad cellulitis in her legs

Had this last November - no joke.  Very painful indeed.  You have to spend the time with your legs above your heart - not very comfortable.  Then when you put them down onto the floor to go to the loo it's total agony.  She has my every sympathy. 

Hated it in hospital they treated me as if I'd lost my brain.  Do not eat wheat and they only managed one wheat free meal a day.  Then they moved me to a different ward but did not move the special bed so I had to prop up my leg on pillows, but they then said that I had too many pillows and would not give me any extra to support my head and shoulders.

Had it again in Feb but that time got the antibiotics much quicker.  Now have a set on the shelf just in case. 

She's really going through it Shirl...massive vibes from me too, and if she remembers....love from the posh one ;D ;D ;D

All the v.v.v.best to you too; it's hard being the sole supporter, innit? Glad you got Ower Tone, gal 8)

Healing thoughts and positive energy being sent from this end too. I hope your mum is soon on the mend.

(((hugs))) and positive vibes to you too whilst you are supporting her.

Hope your mum gets better soon.

Sending get well soon wishes :)
