cloud of poppy derivatives might be the way Audrey goes?
She has had a nasty fall getting out of bed to get a glass of water, the walking frame to help her, lies quietly in wait to catch her out. The wheels take off with her in tow and down she goes. This time grazing her knee, hitting her head and bruising vertebra in her back.
Audrey stayed overnight in hospital where they wanted her to stay for a few weeks for pain relief and physio. Well, one night was enough so she was sent home at her insistence, with morphine, 12 hourly and three hourly doses. Her GP will visit today and assess her and decide on the way forward. Audrey has two very good friends who are very much onside for her to stay in her own home. One is keeping us up to date with what is going on. He is writing this morning to update her doctor as to exactly what has transpired over the last couple of months.
What a worry it all is.
Morphine, the talk of palliative care, all this for a 96 year old, do they know something we don't?
All of this with the ever constant worry of the virus...
