Linda phoned to say that the hospital had phoned to say that mum was going back to the care home this afternoon.
I phoned the home at 5.15pm and spoke to Daphne, she said that mum was not back with them yet, they were really looking forward to having her back there, she would be going back to her room.
I told her that we would be coming in to see mum in a couple of days time.

I phoned the care home to see how mum had settle since she came back to them last night. I spoke to Tina and she said that mum was fine, she had walked with her zimmer frame from her room to the dining room to have her breakfast but as soon as she had finished she wanted to go back to her room.
Thursday 18th November
We went into see mum we got there 10.30 ish, mum was in her room. Daphne told us that 2 carers were just going to take mum to the bathroom as she had an upset tummy, due to the tablets given to her by the hospital she was constipated while she was in there, they were going to take her off the tablets as they were working too well!!
The carers were getting mum into a wheelchair to take her into the bathroom to get her washed and change her clothes.She was very confused and I don't think that she even realised who we were while we were with her. She asked me where my mum was, she looked at me and said 'you look old!'
We stayed with her for about 2 hours, it was a hard and upsetting visit, we took her to the dining room in her wheelchair, all the other ladies were making cakes but she really wasn't interested in joining in she just sat in her chair dozing, we asked her if she wanted to go back to her room but she said that she was fine.
Daphne found her glasses, they were in her large blue purse. she wouldn't put them on so John put them in her room. We spoke to Daphne about how she thought mum was she said that we have to remember that mum had been thought quite an ordeal, she doesn't realise that she has been in hospital and had a hip replacement and also that she has had an anaesthetic, it may still be in her system, she had also walked a bit this morning and been washed and change and so all this had made her very tired.
Sunday 21st November
I phoned to see how mum was, I spoke to Tina she said that mum no longer had her upset tummy but she was still very confused this morning, she was in her wheelchair but she had walked a bit yesterday, she wants to stay in her room, she doesn't like going into the lounge much but will go into the dining room for a short while but prefers to stay in her room.
Michael phone in the afternoon, he said that when they went in on Saturday mum was in bed, they got her up, she was very confused and they didn't stay long, they left her watching her TV
