We’re having a fry up apparently, no idea why but I don’t make the rules in our house.

Thankyou Mark Thankyou Bill…11 hours from Emergency doctor’s appt to admittance onto a ward…15 hours if you count time trying to get through to the surgery…(plus that moment when you find yourself wishing that the UK would accept a positive titre test for rabies…Note to self: 3 years Rabies boosters in case we need to travel back urgently…)
Hope she’s now doing well after that ordeal.

We ate on the terrace overlooking our estate last night, - tuna and anchovie salad for me.
Probably barbecue tonight, not sure what I’ll be cooking though. Have a state visit starting tomorrow (sister and BIL) so will have to be on my best behaviour.

She’s been transferred to a specialist ward at a different hospital (at midnight…!) so hopefully in safer hands now…She spent three hours on the floor of the doctors surgery…who couldn’t have been kinder and kept calling the ambulance Services…but even a controlled admission by her own doctor to A&E and onto an admittance Ward was 48 hours of hell for her…My daughter stayed with her all those hours…after she left her doctor there was no attention given to her insulin requirements (insulin dependent) or food intake nor the complication that necessitated the emergency appt in the first place… She never complains but seems like the A&E department just do not have the resources to care…Thankyou all so much for caring…

That is terrible, how grim for her and what a worry for you. Unbelievable there’s no joined-up care.

It’s difficult to pinpoint where the exact problem lies and to apportion blame…I’m talking about an elderly lady kind gentle optimistic mentally sound even though her body is failing her…a myriad of physical problems even before the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes a few years ago…Her own doctor is brilliant and her diabetic nurse at the surgery is great…My daughter has been horrified by the lack of care exhibited by A&E…she’s currently trying to decide on a career path…which degree to go for…social services…domestic violence…care of the elderly…these events turn our world upside down…x
