This afternoon we went to visit Mavis as in elderly lady from our previous church whom we have been supporting for years) who is in hospital. She is ill with infections in her liver and gallbladder but they haven't managed to diagnose what's causing them yet. When she has an infection it somehow affects her brain so she can become unco-operative and well, just plain stroppy.Yesterday when we went in a nurse was trying to get her to drink but she wasn't opening her mouth and she didn't speak or look at us. In the end we felt her condition must have worsened and she was actually unable to speak. I cried on the way home, thinking that she was dying.
Today when we went in she was talking again but in a really bad mood and actually being what you might call a bit horrid to us.
I know she can't help it. It's just toxins affecting her brain but it's hard.
