    my advice would be to call an ambulance? I'm not sure what country u in, she may have had a reaction to the op or a complication, or could u ring her dr & have a chat, I totally understand as my mum had bowels infections & in hospital 6 times in 3 months

    Hope this helps plèase lmk

    Get her back to doctor get anti sickness meds make sure she drinks little sips often. But you really need to get a doctor to check her out if she is so anaemic why didn't they give blood transfusion.Dr can give her injection for sickness which may help with eating.

    I agree w/Wendy & Townko She needs to see a Dr. ASAP, if she is just nauseous, or this is a result of surgery, there are meds she can take. If she isn't eating she will continue to get more anemic, have really low blood sugar, lack of energy & etc..all these things are very dangerous!! She isn't drinking so she is probably dehydrated as well, this can cause serious problems....if it has been two weeks, she needs to see a Dr. ASAP, she could have an infection, complication and you can only go so long without food & water. At 80 she cannot afford to be bed bound, there is risk of blood clots & lack of interest means she is either feeling really sick or maybe even a little depressed. Please don't wait, if its too hard to get her up & out , call an ambulance, or get someone to help you there is no need for her to suffer this way and it can be fixed fairly quickly with medical support!! Best Wishes & Good Luck, Praying for you and your Mom💒☮❤🌈🍀
