An update on my sister. She eventually agreed to go into hospital for a few days last week to get her medication sorted out. She was in a great deal of pain and took some old anti-depressants that she had kept lying around from previous years - just to get some sleep. The result was that she was out cold for about 10 hours and, when I couldn't get in touch with her all day, I immediately thought the worse. So, she did have 2/3 days in the palliative care hospital and they re-prescribed all of her pills and potions. So her batteries are recharged for another wee while. She was due in today to have her lower teeth removed - but I'm not sure if they would have done this or not because I think she still has a thrush infection. Just waiting to hear. I thought she might just leave it, but she seemed determined to get rid of the lot as they were annoying her no end. It's just one more painful thing for her to go through - let alone the indignity of having no teeth - but she says that she doesn't care how she looks or sounds. Just as long as she gets some benefit.
Thank you to all concerned for such a caring and helpful site. I shall keep in touch, though think I should be moving to another 'Topic' area by now?
