Mrs H was admitted to Worcester Royal Hospital A& E in June 2015 with urinary tract infection.  Three day visit included Assessment Ward. 

She was admitted to Hereford A&E in mid November 2014  due to broken hip-socket and stayed there and in Ross Hospital for five weeks.  Pain-killers are for life.  She cannot have an operation due to ongoing heart problems and related blood pressure problems.  She is 100% dependent on wheelchairs. 

Mrs H has been assessed by Hereford Memory Service (HMS) and was confirmed in Sept 2014 as having onset dementia.  However, in every-day interaction, this is not all that apparent.  

She has an oesophageal pouch and needs most food in puree form. More at top left here  Unable to have operation. 

Mrs H has neuro problems in left arm giving extreme pain.


Ovarian Cancer and effects

Operation in Nov 2000 - hysterectomy to remove womb and ovaries.  Six months of chemotherapy in 2001 at Kent and Canterbury Hospital.  A chemo comp­onent affected foot-bones which led to first wheelchair.  Arthritis has compounded the problem over the years resulting in decreasing mobility.  The 2014 hip problem was expected as the right hip was replaced in 1995.


1980 – Heart attack brought on by stress and very cold weather in Scotland, aged 43.
