Thanks no1mum and susieq, I might try posting it again tomorrow if I get the chance.

By the way, why was the site changed, it seemed fine to me and I preferred the look etc of the old site.

Two years ago she didn't look late 70s more like late 60s but all this has made her look old http://www.carersuk.org/images/icon_sad.gif Maybe her previous good health is now working to her advanta...

An update for anyone interested. Mum recovered from the UTI and towards end of January she was assessed that she was well enough to go into a care home for six weeks until she could be further assessed to see if she was well enough to come home. She was in the home just two nights when she had a fal...

Latest is mum is back in main hospital with a UTI causing confusion and agitation. Not nice to see her like this but hopefully the anti-biotics and drip she's on will do the trick.

<t>I didn't know where to post this so thought this was as good a place as any. Mum is still in the mental health unit, she has been taken across to the main hospital and back quite a number of times in the last four or five days. The latest is she is in the main hospital and due to go back to the u...
