Very very upset

Charleygirl5, she has all the marbles she started with, then ones she's accumulated over the years .
I'm sorry you have no family, that's so sad. Hugs x

Thanks for letting us know. She is obviously in the best place and will hopefully be stronger on discharge having had the extra rest. She is lucky to have reached that age and is still in possession of her marbles. You are fortunate to have such a lovely family- I, unfortunately, have none any longer.

Thanks all, I updated you as soon as I heard, if I hear anything else, I'll let you know. X

Oh good. I can stop 'popping in' to see how things are.

Thanks for the update, I am sure she is being well looked after.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear she’s OK x

UPDATE: she's okay but will be in hospital until the middle of next week. X

bikergran, thankyou, she is. I absolutely adore her, she is such a lovely woman. X

Your Aunty sounds like she is made of strong stuff, hope she soon recovers and is back on her feet

Blossoming, thankyou. I think I feel guilty because I usually worry myself into a sleepless wreck about the most minute of things, so I feel guilty for not doing it over this, I wouldn't have slept if I hadn't been so tired, though.
I mustn't let it spoil my birthday as she would tell me off for worrying about her already, let alone on my birthday. X

Don’t feel bad for sleeping, worrying yourself into a sleepless wreck won’t help you or your aunty. Hope she is doing Ok and this doesn’t spoil your birthday.

As far as I know she is okay. I managed to sleep last night but I feel guilty for sleeping. I've been profusely praying for her since I heard and I'm not even massively religious, I do believe but I don't go to chapel, however it makes me feel that I'm doing something to help.
She can't have people to stay as she only has one room. I wish that it was me instead of her. I feel like the worst person in the world because I slept last night and wasn't up all night. Thanks all. X

Any news FH? I hope your great aunt had a comfortable night - and that she is home soon.

It’s usual for somebody to be monitored for possible concussion or similar problems following a blow to the head. Hope you have some positive news soon.

Hope all is well for your aunt today FH and she can return to her sheltered accommodation soon. She sounds like a remarkable woman.

FH I do appreciate for you it was possibly a long, tearful sleepless night but I do hope your lovely aunt had a good night's sleep.

I am in agreement with another GN, a shower stool was superb for me and I even use it when washing my hair. Like yourself, I have balance problems and it changed my life. Your aunt will be less hesitant to shower if she knows she can sit down- and as said before, do not forget about yourself. That could be a birthday gift to self- why not?

Is she being discharged today? Hospitals no longer care about age- a GN had a THR late one Friday evening and was discharged on the Sunday. Could you maybe stay a couple of nights so that she feels safe again? That would be a kind gesture.

OMG I forgot about Covid and forget which tier you are in so it may not be allowed. Does she have a hospital near where she lives? Look after yourself.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I hope both you and your aunt are feeling better.

It's a nasty shock when someone who's always been there is suddenly vulnerable.
It sounds like she's being well taken care of though.
Try not to fret x

Thankyou so much. X

They might be a good idea for you, too, as you're prone to falling.
Useful if anyone has to go into hospital, too.

Thanks both... you're all so kind. X

Sorry to hear about your Aunty. Hope you get some sleep tonight,things always seem worse when you are tired.

((Hugs)) I hope yr auntie is home safe again asap!

Thanks all. It's my fathers auntie, but he doesn't seem to be upset at all, he isn't the type to get upset. X
