mum

mum

for mum's 86th birthday she spent 26hrs in A&E

and had to try and sleep on a trolley overnight

fuck you very much conservatives: your imminent demise cannot happen soon enough: hope to hell the hole you've left the country in can be recovered from.

by the time i arrived this morning, it was afternoon and mum had just had an MRI

and they'd found her a hospital bed in a geriatric ward

the lady opposite was shouting, 'KILL ME. I CAN'T MOVE MY LEGS. HELP ME. KILL ME'

bless my mum who is in hospital for good reason, who got up and went over to try and calm the lady opposite before being told it was pointless because the lady would not respond.

but mum had a go at helping her anyway.

this is my mum: always wanting to help people and very caring.

her and my dad are both 86 and spend all week visiting 'old people' who appreciate company

another lady in the ward was just shouting 'TREVOR! TREVOR!'

another was lying on her back making death gurgles

another slept

another just stared at a wall

this in my mind, is why motorbikes were invented

i will go out of my way to NOT find myself on a ward like this.

hopefully mum isn't there long. but will be for another day or two at least while tests are run.

left dad at the hospital, who will have been by her side for 11 hrs before he's kicked out for the night

despite this mum is confused and thinks she's been abandoned in a nursing home

this is mum having a little sleep this afternoon

i HATE hospitals

i LOVE the NHS and everyone who works for the greater good of other people
