Playing musical hospitals this morning with mum. Dropped her at 9am at the hospital minor injurys unit. Went round to feed cats as im still cat sitting. Took floss with me for the drive and took her to the playing field at the end of the road. Poor girls very wobbly, so feel over.
Got back home, downed a coffee, phone does silly things. Mums managed to send me a blank text. Shes on a new phone so doesnt know how to use it at all. So i rang her saying did you try ringing me. Yes she said but it wouldnt work. No thats cos you text me a blank message. She wouldnt know how to text an actual message.
Anyway i had to go pick her up to take her to the hospital 10 miles away, due to no proper A&E department at our local no proper drs. So after trying to sort out exactly where im going and negotiating road works galore i dropped her over there at 12pm. Just got back.
Foots been xrayed at the local, examined, pushed and pulled and then re xrayed. No breaks, but the toe is dislocated. Theyve burst the blistered toe and tried to relocate but to no avail. They are also concerned that there could be an infection in the toe so say she could need antibiotics.
They are surprised that shes managed for a week on it. But i guess thats what diabetes and no feeling in your foot do. Although when they pressed on a particular area she said she could feel pain. Theyve sent her over to the other hospital to see the orthopaedic dr, and see if they can relocate it.
Now waiting for another call from her.
She did say she was disgusted by there lack of cleanliness at our local. Where they burst the blister, it went everywhere. They took her off for xray, so a while there, then she was brought back, apparently the mess still hadnt been cleared up.
Just been phoned by hospital as shes left her phone in my car, so i can go pick her up again.
