I hope things go well on both sides of the ocean, as well as they can. Dignity is not something a lot of people consider when dealing with the elderly and your mom is lucky to have someone making sure hers remains intact.

Time and time again, I have seen the elderly pushed aside, for more ambulatory patients. I had a friend, who had to threaten media attention for his father, as he was told, he "was going to die" anyway!<br /><br />I also have a nursing friend who has noticed some of the young up and coming nursing staff, to be more "technical" and less hands on, and compassionate. I have also noted that younger people who have been raised to be the "it" child in the family have a harder time recognizing putting the patient first. All of that compiled with the regular uproar in the medical field of being shorthanded has given these nurses a harder job to do, to lend themselves in being compassionate.<br /><br />I appreciate nursing. The last time I was in the ER, I had the most wonderful caring nurse...it was amazing.<br /><br />Take care of your mama! I hope things go well for you and your family.miabellavintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304621780181651143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-71067734526883023072012-05-15T11:40:26.570-04:002012-05-15T11:40:26.570-04:00How awful. you really did had a tough weekend.

I know those can be quite challenging and stressful times for loved ones. My dad passed away in 2003 after a very long, debilitating illness with frequent hospitalizations during which he lived at home, cared for mostly by my mom and, at times, my sister or me. He hung on long after we had been told to say our good-byes. When he died, it was still heartbreaking for all of us but we truly found much comfort in knowing that we had done our best in providing or helping provide the best possible care for him. He left knowing just how much we loved him and how much he meant to each of us. My heart goes out to you as you and your family goes through these difficult times. I hope the situation improves.Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152305422037094598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-2504848553462259172012-05-14T19:32:36.912-04:002012-05-14T19:32:36.912-04:00wow chania, what an incredible story. my thoughts ...wow chania, what an incredible story. my thoughts are with you xxjules @ The Diversion Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261889891875232983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-6264769493298290782012-05-14T18:08:31.533-04:002012-05-14T18:08:31.533-04:00Chania, I'm so very sorry to hear that your mo...Chania, I'm so very sorry to hear that your mother is in the hospital, and that the nursing home is not suiting your mother in law.
