Poor Nana ...

Nana was rushed to hospital yesterday morning after my Aunty and Uncle checked on her after being concerned about her the night before ..

She hadn't been eating since Tuesday night ..

It seems she has an obstruction in her bowel .. and the specialists at the hospital have found a mass .. She also has a mass on her lungs ..

She had began to regurgitate fecal matter and was in dire straits ..

They put down a gastro-nasal and 2litres of fluid was drained .. Her poor stomach was stretched to huge proportions ..

She must have been soooo uncomfortable ..

She also has a really bad chest infection .. but after having some of the gunk drained seems a lot better ...

Urrghhh ..

The last 2 years of her 84 years seem to have been fraught with hospital stays .. last month just before we went on holiday she accidently knocked her leg while gardening .. and unbeknownst to her had taken a bog gouge out of her leg .. which went septic .. so she spent the weekend in hospital on IV antibiotics .. and then with a public nurse visiting her at home and re-dressing it ..

It is so lucky that my Aunty and Uncle live next door .. but must be hard on them ..

Pop is in a rest home around the corner from their home .. and we wonder if she got a flat at the rest home - whether it may be a good idea .. but she loves her independence and being able to pot around and of course has been in the house for coming up 60 years or so ..

So hard for them to leave and go somewhere else ..

Poor Nana ..

The scans and results are due back this morning .. so will hear from Mum what is happening then ..
