Just so we're clear: my Mum knows I post on here about her. When she's in her right mind, she encourages it, bc she wants people to know what its like to care for a loved one at home. So those who want to police my account, just don't please. I have enough on my plate.

Oh no!!! 💔💔💔💔 😢😢 Helen Haines’ husband, Phil, just provided this update on her condition. Just devastating. 😔
ok, so update on Mum: she's going home, but with some anti-anxiety meds beforehand. They've booked the patient transport, so we'll try discharge again. She's in better form this morning.
