MUM IS IN HOSPITAL

I have just returned from the Horton where Mum was awaiting an X-Ray. I felt that she was in good hands so I came away in case anyone called on the phone. In fact, Pete did, soon after I got home.
She had a severe stomach pain last night and went to bed early, so I left her to sleep it off, hoping that whatever was causing the pain would come out in the ?wash.
Our Polish Carer came as usual and she felt that I should dial 999, but knowing how cold it was, I decided to call the emergency Medic. instead and he came along about midnight and gave her some pain tablets to see if she could get some sleep. We had a fitful night and got up four or five times with no luck, Next morning I phoned our own Surgery and a lady Dr. turned up about noon. Before she arrived I asked Mum, who was sitting in her comfy chair, if she would rather be in bed when our doctor arrived. She said she would so I helped her out of the chair, but this was a mistake as she fainted and almost collapsed on the floor, but I managed to get her to collapse on the settee, where she was when our doc arrived. Doc said she ought to be in bed so we struggled along carrying Mum between us but she fell on the floor and it took us some effort to get her onto the bed. She rang the hospital for some transport and the ambulance arrived at 2-ish. I left Mum about 4.30 and came home as there was not much I could do at the A&E, So there you have it, I'll ring up later to see where they were going to put her and I took some clothes with me in case she was there overnight. The hospital tel no is 01295 275500,if you are interested.
. Must get some sleep - ta ta Love from Dad.
