So, I've been rather quiet for last week or so. Basically, my mum has been seriously ill in #RoyalLiverpool hospital & I've been travelling between #Brighton #Liverpool every few days. While she's hopefully getting a bit better, her mood is *very* low. Meanwhile I'm pretty much exhausted. She has a good team of carers in place who can help over Xmas & New Year, & hopefully she'll be able to go home then 🤞
As tomorrow is the next #RCNStrike action I have to say that mum's care by #nurses, doctors & all #NHS staff has been fantastic in the face of huge problems, working in a massively under-resourced system. Thanks to all those who have been working to get her & *all* patients better. #FairPayForNursing #NursesStrike
So after visiting mum today (who was being looked after by nurses who were exempt from #RCNStrike action) I felt I owed it to all the other #nurses to join the picket & show my support for them & #NHS #FairPayForNursing #NursesStrike​
@ibikebrighton sorry to hear this! Hope she can indeed go home soon!
