Mum Not Eaten Or Drunk For 4 Days
42 Answers
Mum 84, has recently come home from hospital after fracturing her hip and having a half hip replacement.
She was ok for a week or so but over the past 4 days she is refusing to eat as it makes her feel sick and has only a few sips of juice.
Myself or the nurse cannot get her up, she point blank refuses saying shes too scared and just wants to die anyway. Doctor has sent over anti sickness tablets but she says they dont work.
Really at my witts end, she spends all day lying on the daybed we have for her but when i try to go to bed at night,
as im exhausted, within 2 hours shes shouting for me, so i settle her down, go back to bed and the whole cycle starts again.
Really dont know what to do. How long can she go without food and drink for before she becomes ill again? She had Covid in January also which has taken its toll.
Have spoken to our GP a couple of times who just says if she feels that bad send her back to to hospital, but she refuses to go.
The Nurse comes in most days and says her vital signs are ok.
