13:25 update

Mum had been scheduled for an Ultra-Sound Guided Drainage, which if you google would have indicated an intra abdominal abscess, however there was no significant quality of fluid found so they have done nothing.
I quizzed the staff about possible causes but nothing was forth coming.

Dad was at the bedside so I was put through to him, and he complains that he cannot hear Mum because she has an oxygen mask on.
I told him what the nurse said to me and proposed that the ol'girl was probably completely bunged up.
I suspect that out of the choice of rabbit sh'dung and mopping up, the former is the preferred option in some quarters.
Dad's cancelled Mum's helpers until Friday but reckons he has plenty of food in he says, otherwise it's down the fish and chip shop I said! LOL
