All Activity

I’ll help you with what you need. Takes a few minutes to set up the poll but it’s easy on a laptop. I also think it’ll get a better response being done by you than me, nice!

Well that recommendation sounds like the kiss of death

@Clive don’t accept no for an answer mate. You need to be active and pursue Adult Social Care, they are responsible for your wellbeing and safety.

As I have said to @Saul we have been involved with Social Service before, they were no help, well very little help. Maybe I am being negative, but I have doubts that her condition will improve much, her age and the Osteoporosis will continue to be a problem. CISWO did more for us when we tried to make a previous Attendance Allowance claim (but it was denied)....... i will get my wife to give them a call when she is discharged from hospital What a pair We make, one almost crippled, the other deaf as a post, normal life? Forgot what's that like

Saul is excellent candidate for BOTM mod gig...marcel approved...

It took some time for me to get their trust...soon has I got a hold of the higher functions of the site...though it would have been hilarious to give them a 24h bann...and I'd be running the show for 24hrs...lol.

So unlike you to go off on one and fuck everything up for yourself. You stable genius you.

It's was a lovely sunny afternoon here but it's my Mrs's birthday today. Probably not the best day to fuck off on the bike

Yes....lol...Pete and Phil were pissed and I was promptly demoded...lol.

Is that what you did?

Just don't try to bann the administration...lol.

Me to mate, I was a Mod on https://www.uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/index.php Haven't had a Saab for years now, miss those cars, lots of fun back in the day here.

What could possibly go wrong?

Very simple Saul , people forget I was once a .moderator...lol....unfortunately my carree didn't last long after trying to ban the owners of the site...lol.

They will have Catu 2 wards somewhere mate, with respect that's for them to sort if you request it.

Sorry to hear your wife is having health issues Clive, I hope she recovers OK and life gets as back to normal as it can. As above try adult social services and poss occupational health. We had to do it for my mum, they weren't perfect but they did help with various things to help her mobility. We had to buy a bed which can be raised and lowered tho. Some of the stuff is eye wateringly expensive. They were reasonably good with arranging home visits by a nurse to change dressings etc.

Everything is centralised at King's Mill hospital, the others in Mansfield, or close by in the surrounding area were closed down years ago (Forest hospital...Ransom hospital....Harlow Wood to name the few I know) King's Mill became part or the Sherwood Hospital trust, which includes Newark hospital. As to respite care, I ain't got a clue where someone would go, or even if they had a place for respite cases..

@Clive I have sent some reading material to help you by PM.

@Clive you could also ask for her to be put into a Cat 2 ward for respite care (normally in a small local hospital) until there is suitable provision (assessed by Adult Social Services) for her at home.

I will do it if no one else want to. I would appreciate your help for the first Month @Pedro if no one else steps up.

You need to get hold of Adult Social Services Clive which are part of the local authority (council), plus there are other agencies. PM me your email and I will forward the links to you. You can challenge the discharge if you feel you don't have safe provision for your wife. Sounds hard but you would be doing it for the best reasons. You have to say, no she can't come home until there is a care package in place, you have to say you cannot cope and it is not safe for her or you. You will have to explain to them that the only place she can sleep is the sofa which is not safe or suitable. First two weeks of the package is already funded without assessment. You will probably get it ongoing depending on your benefits and the assessment of Adult Social Services. Age Concern and Citizens Advice will help. It's stressful mate but you will get what is needed if you stick to your guns. Horrible that you have to do so but that is the way of things in England. If you want to discuss more PM me and I will put you in touch with my Mrs who is sorting out something very similar for her Mum.

Sorry to hear about all that, Clive.

Think I broke Pedro with the qwad...lol.

Bugger! I could have took a photo on my epic ride to the hospital today.......I parked in the bike/motorcycle area, next to a R1, when I came out after visiting time he/she had moved the bike along 2 places!.
