Here we go again.
Mum in law is back in hospital. Shes been in a week having some tests and obs and its been decided to amutate her other leg. The other was removed in September as a result of circulation issues. In our opinion the care she has received since has not been great. We have voiced concerns constantly, but things were at best, followed up at snails pace and often, not acted on at all.
About 2 months ago, one of the carers managed to tip her off the equipment they used to move her from room to room resulting in the equipment being removed and mum being bedbound for 6 weeks while alternative equipment was found and fitted. During that time, sat in her bed the knee on her good leg has fused itself bent and she can no longer straighten it. This has resulted in muns leg now being more of a hinderence than a help, so they are going to operate next week.
Mums current care plan can not be put on hold, so will be cancelled, meaning a new one will have to be put in place before she could return home. She will probably be in a number if weeks though, so no need to worry about that yet.
Its deja vu for sure.....
