Sounds like it was a big day @Shaz51, glad that you have had some communication from the hospital and that your mum is doing well at home. Do you think she'll have to go back to the hospital soon?

Hi @Shaz51
Your Mum seems very happy at home and it's tough she keeps getting bowel obstructions - I know these can be really dramatic when they happen - and it must be scary
Can they just treat your mum when she is having one of these and make her comfortable - it seems to me she really feels enough is enough about all of these procedures
This is such a hard time for her and for you
Wishing both of you the best

she is happy just doing this and you are right my second mum , she has had enough
