I...Thank you all for your support and best wishes.<br /><br />I will be in touch individually soon. Am bit bushed from day's goings on.<br /><br />It seems I have lost my door keys. OOOOPS! Thankfully, have Dad's spares until I can get new ones cut. <br /><br />Been up the hospital all afternoon and into the evening. Dad seems a bit chipper but I know him.. Up and down and further down. <br /><br />Like you all, I am hoping that this time there is some substantial care provision put in place for him.<br /><br />Gonna curl up for a rest and watch Midsommer Murders now.<br /><br />Hugs to everyone xxxThat's not my name!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17064348309163649672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-29814310513280006622009-07-22T19:56:58.416+01:002009-07-22T19:56:58.416+01:00SORRY...

How you continue to pull inner strength out of the bag is an absolute inspiration. Thanks to you he got through that one. It's an awful situation to have to cope with to say the least.<br /><br />How typical of the support worker to try and pass the buck. It just infuriates me that a human life is treated like pass the parcel between one department and another and in the meantime no care is given and this is the result. Shocking!!<br /><br />In the absence of being able to do/say anything useful at this point just want to say I hear you and empathise, and send much love. As Disillusioned suggests, try and make a bit of space for yourself sometime soon. :-( XXcoffeecuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595328767389539577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-22139838678270566862009-07-22T10:09:44.260+01:002009-07-22T10:09:44.260+01:00Thanks C

I have asked for a social work assessment and occupational therapy assessment for him as I believe it is unsafe to discharge him without much more support than is available.<br /><br />If he is discharged today, I am going to have to organise transport as he cannot come home on his own.<br /><br />I don't think I will be in a position to do something just for me until I am more certain that his safety is assured.<br /><br />Very worrying but thanks so much for your comments. Is nice to be back in touch.

Hope he is feeling better for having care taken of him, and that all is well this morning (or as well as it can be in the circumstances). Make sure you make time to take care of yourself - you have done really well to cope in such terrible circumstances, but I am sure you are feeling the strain. Try to do something just for yourself today.Disillusionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250678226289036634noreply@blogger.com
