This time last year mom was in hospital and deteriorated more I believe after fall out of hospital bed, I am arguing the case that sides was not up on bed. So stressful, just cannot get out of my mind about this and how disgusted I am about the hospital. Have this sadness inside that never goes away. Miss her so much and just keep picturing her in hospital and in pain. So hard to deal with.

Raaah she fell out bed in an actual hospital???
Seriously look into sueing them
She did, they said the side rails were up but i dont brlieve them and they said it was also a unwitnessed fall. I have an advocate putting letter together to the Ombudsman. Need to find solicitors who deal with medical issues
Sorry to hear this. Hospital did not look after my mum properly either and I have put in complaints. You end up feeling guilty but we have all done what we could. X
As well as grieving, you have to deal with the appauling care she received. Worked all her life, deserved better. As well as missing mom so much, this plays on my mind, you ask yourself should I have done more, insisted on her being moved off the ward, complained more.

My heart goes out to you!, I’m in a similar situation with my mam, food diary not logged correctly, sat in a chair all day, which ended up in pressure sores, ‘medically fit to return home’ on Monday, which I refused, as she couldn’t stand unaided!, transferred to palliatives care Tuesday, as ’she had an infection that wasn’t responding to treatment’, passed away on Wednesday, where the hell is the sense in that!! RIP mam 14-08-2024

Medically fit! Yes, my mum was declared this, and discharged temporarily to a care home. She died 2 days later and the hospital said they couldn’t have known, even though she was so very poorly and there were many signs. The hospital gave her c difficile infection and she never recovered. Also developed bad bedsores.
They go to hospital to get better, just dont get it. My mom always used to say she felt that you go to hospital and dont come home again, she meant the elderly really. I protected mom when covid was about, was so strict with myself and mom and she got covid whilst in hospital which to be honest finished her off. How do you protect your vulnerable loved ones whilst in hospital

Feel for you too, just does not make sense. Hard to deal with isnt it as well as grieving their loss.
Hospital should be the safe place, and it isn’t . I felt they didn’t care and they didnt spot the obvious signs we kept asking about and they wouldn’t answer.
