[QUOTE="Daughter of diabetic, post: 459516, member: 90942"] Thanks bopeep, I told them that she certainly did not receive the injuries at home and as we have a carer agency who provide carers all the time I am at work and district nurses in twice a day, all her ailments and any form of injury is logged at home so I know I am well covered there! I think they are tryiong to blame the previous hospital but she was only in there for one night. The did do a body chart and I noticed there was a large mark on the back of her upper thigh marked on it - I couldn't see the injury obviously as she was laid inbed but that was the only mark I have seen on the body charts. Last night when I went they had sat mum in a chair but I was shocked to see she was so bent over that her head was almost touching her knees and she couldn't straighten up. She now has both feet bandaged up. Mum swears like a trooper. now. It doesn't bother us as we know it is all part of the dementia and she always hated swearing. Mum was also complaining that her back hurt but two nirses just oiked her up and dumped her on the bed. I have already been in touch with Social Services Safeguarding. We were approached on New Years Eve by another patient who told us they could hear mother screaming on a night when the nurses go in. She does scream a lot a home. Very sad for an intelligent lady to end up like this - I don't really understand why mums BM is very high when she is barely eating a thing. and if her sugar is haywire we know that can slso affect her personality. We also don't understand why they test her blood sugar at times like quarter to twelve at night and half five in a morning and then not again until the evening. Potty.
