Had to take mum for a blood test today, just to check that her kidneys are functioning ok,
She fell 5 weeks ago and the X-Ray showed a slight fracture on her right foot unfortunately the only treatment is rest, i could'nt put her shoes on because her foot was swollen so she had to wear her slippers (with cats embroidered on the front).
She sat on the chair in the nurses room and looked so small and sweet i wanted to scoop her up and hug her.
It took two nurses and a doctor to get the blood, every time they hit a vein it collapsed, poor old bean, she never complained once.
They were appalled at the injury on her left arm, the nurses in the hospital had taken the micropore off her arm where she'd had the drip and ripped her skin off, the district nurse comes every 3 days to dress it.
Bugger me, did'nt they go and put two plasters on her right arm today, it took me 20 minutes getting them off gently so i did'nt tear the skin.
Some medication makes the skin very fragile apparantly.
