Mum update: one of the Diabetes nurses called me yesterday to tell me that mum’s been moved to a diabetes ward.
Mum’s own diabetes consultant came back to work yesterday after a two-week break, so this was her first opportunity to see and assess mum.
She concluded that mum needed to be sent home with a proper care package, i.e. with carers visiting daily who can give Mum her insulin. The upshot is that Mum is now being assessed.
Dad, Richard and I are all very relieved, even though it’ll delay Mum’s return home. Dad is slowly getting better and we managed another socially distanced G&T in his back garden on a fine evening.
2022 and all that
