Is there anyone here who has experience of Addenbrooke’s stroke and/or respiratory consultants? I’m interested to hear about who they are and their attitudes.
Thinking of transferring my mum into a care home in Cambridgeshire (the original family home).
Hello EMG - Just a quick note to see how you’re getting on with relocating Mum to her new home. I trust all is well.
Thanks for checking in.
We’re waiting for the social worker to contact the desired care home in Cambridgeshire.
She finally had a videoflouroscopy the other week as an inpatient and she needs to be seen by ENT as they’ve spotted what could the issue causing her swallow (damage from radiotherapy 30 years ago). So she’s still undergoing investigations but is otherwise doing well.
The flippin’ hospital removed one of her meds when she was admitted a month ago causing her a big set back and worsening her condition. We were livid. I hope she gets better treatment elsewhere - when the move finally happens. Addenbrookes was her usual hospital until they moved in East Suffolk. She’ll be back under Addenbrooke’s if the care home comes through.
Flippin’ hospitals!!
Hopefully it was not too big a setback 
Really good the videoflouroscopy has picked up the issue causing problems with swallow.
Being back home in Cambridgeshire should be good for your Mum.
Hope the home comes through soon 
Best wishes to you and your Mum.
