My mother just went back to the hospital
6 months ago
My mother just went back to the hospital. She had some kind of seizure, and was incoherent. My dad had to call an ambulance. And they had to force her out of the house. And she kept trying to tell me something. But over and over again she was saying something about boarding something up. And then she tried to mouth it to me. She was acting like it was some kind of conspiracy. She might be in the hospital for a week again.... Last time it was for severe vitamin deficiency. Might be the same thing again this time. I remember her doctor told her to stop taking the pills that help with water retention. But my mother didn't want to stop taking them because her ankles would swell, and she'd find them ugly. But those damn pills were eating up the potassium in her system. Plus, she won't quit drinking. It doesn't take much alcohol at all to get her drunk anymore. Something tells me the doctors are really gonna let her have it this time.

Sounds like she really wanted to tell you something. Hope you're going to visit her. Maybe she could tell you, what ever it is.

I won't be able to visit her till she's stable. Right now they're just trying to figure out what's wrong with her

You have my deepest sympathies. I hope your mother can pull through and that she gets back on her feet, picks up the pieces of her life and puts them back together for a fresh start. I feel she is someone who deserves a second chance.

Thanks. Whatever is wrong with her, it needs to be properly diagnosed this time. She's been taken to a different hospital this time. So maybe she'll get better care.

Thanks. I hope so too. But right now I'm really worried after seeing how incoherent she was yesterday.

As a former nurse maybe it's time to have them eval'ed for a custody hearing.

I told my dad that if her mind was going, worse comes to worse, she might end up in a care home

Better that than a corpse. I've seen the other option enough times to know it happens literally every minute some too cool for school smartass ends up in uncle Sams furnace. It only takes a minute or two to start dying and usually the person is alone or with someone that cannot help. You go down your vision gets dark and blurry then out like a light. Been there done that but I was with people that weren't retarded so that was the only reason we are having this conversation now. Now consider what happens the other way.

She's back from the hospital now. But she's very tired and mentally slowed down. My dad said he can't let her drink anymore

~monosheep
Had your dad considered alternative for her to avoid drinking?
Foxtide888
~foxtide888
OP
Not yet. But it seems he's only stopped her from drinking hard alcohol. At least for the moment.

Let's hope so.
