Just a tree

I took this while sitting in my car waiting to set off on the trek to the hospital. I was in the car park but it's a fair distance and today was just about the furthest point possible to park. I have to say that the more I'm walking this distance the less of a trek it seems.

Today that nurse was on the ward again. I turned my back on her but she came round to make a fuss of mum which I didn't like and couldn't see the purpose of. I resented her intrusion into my visiting time for no reason whatsoever.

Was she making a point ? Trying to make amends ? I couldn't tell. I just found it as thoughtless as everything else she has said or done.

There was no dressing on mum's leg but I was both too tired to fight against it all any more and also intrigued as to the effect it might have. I'll keep my eye on it just to see if there is any advantage in not having a dressing on. Could be that the dressings are the problem but we'll see.

I asked the Primary Nurse when she thought mum could come home and she looked at the notes and said when the physiotherapist and the occupational health are happy with her.

I really can't see what the physiotherapist and OH are doing or waiting for. She went in with pneumonia not a broken bone. She has dementia so whatever they tell her to do she won't remember to continue to do once she's home.

So tomorrow I am going to phone up and try to speak to the physiotherapist and find out just why they are keeping mum in hospital when she is no longer ill.
