My mother in law had low blood pressure,
Tried to go to the bathroom and fell.
It was pretty bad.
My husband came home immediately and called an ambulance.
We’re waiting to see if they release or keep her.
I’m hoping they keep her,
Just so I can get a little break.
That’s too bad. Hope everything turns out okay. 
I’m sorry to hear that. Hopes she gets better, and you get your break.
Imma bust out the voodoo doll and see what I can do to buy you more time.
Oh man I’m sorry but it’s nice that you get a small break too.
I’m so sorry. I hope she will recover soon. 
I’m sorry Rex. Sending you sweet vibes. 
Take care.
I hope your MIL will be OK. I know you posted a while back that you were trying to get her doctor to do something about her wildly fluctuating BP. Maybe now they will take it seriously.
They’re discharging her with her leg broken in three places.
She’ll be back home any minute.
I’m mortified.
I have no idea how to cope with this.
Things were already so bad,
Now her leg is broken.
I’m sorry that is really bad…
Wow @GoldenRex, that’s pretty heavy.
Hoping things get easier for you, and you get the help and support you need during this time.
Wishing your mother-in-law a speedy recovery as well 
It’s time for the “she goes or I do” discussion with your husband. Don’t back down.
Could you phone the hospital and say you are unable to meet her care needs in the community. This should cause a flag by the hospital staff and hopefully they don’t discharge her into your care
That is awful. No way should they be bringing her back home. You need to put your foot down and say there is no possible way for you to meet her care needs.
If she absolutely has to co e home, insist on a in home nurse. Don’t back down.
Ask to speak to a social worker at the hospital and explain to them that you can’t meet her needs at home and you need another solution. They’ll help you work it out
How the heck do they expect you to care for her with a broken leg?
Don’t be afraid to play the schizophrenia card if talking to the hospital. If you tell them your voices say she can’t come home you’ll almost hear the alarm go off from where you’re sitting.
I had to watch the slow and painful disintegration of my Grandfather a couple of years ago, and I can fully appreciate the amount of strain on people who’re on the front line dealing with things like this.
If I was ever to get like that, I’d wheel myself to the nearest cliff and jump
The amount of stress etc dealing with this kind of thing is so bad, I honestly have the upmost respect for people going through it whilst trying to support themselves and their own families.
It must be tragic for people with no one to help them, which I am likely to experience in my old age if I get that far.
Personally, I don’t expect to live until retirement at the rate the age keeps going up, but that’s another story.
If she needs to go in a home, that is the answer.
My grandad only last two weeks in a home, and they basically let an infection kill him rather than putting him to sleep
Why would you humanly put down a dog, but not a human. Honestly the suffering all round is experienced by so many, yet never makes the news.
Social care for the elderly is a farce
Holy crap that’s a good idea!
