Something’s not right

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Have not posted anywhere yet my @tyme 

Just feeling sad for Mr shaz and I are not in the know of what the family are doing,  always last to know 

It is soo hard 

My mum is still in hospital after her fall , she might be home next week maybe , 2 weeks after her fall 

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

I hear you @Shaz51 . Do you think they are trying to 'protect' you in waiting before they tell you things? It's a lot that you are already doing with your mum.

 

In terms of your mum's future discharge, has anything been put in place yet? e.g. safety assessments, respite arrangements?

 

I'm here tonight if you need a chat. I'll be around for a bit longer.

 

At this time, just hold tight. It may be all you can do at the moment.

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Maybe true xx @tyme 

One assessment was done , waiting for the builder

Not sure if they will keep mum in until the changes are done or not 

After today I have the feeling that mum is on the fence of coming home or staying in hospital 

With arrangements options I say yes please but mum says no , I will be OK 

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

I hear how hard change is for anybody, let alone the elderly @Shaz51 .

 

I feel that unless they have experienced the benefits of help they receive, they will always say no?

 

I don't have enough experience to know what you can do in that case.

 

Sitting with you,

tyme

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Me too my @tyme all new to me

Thank you for sitting with me 

I think communication is the key as well xxx

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51 

 

Yes, communication and transparency is so important - both with your mum and with services. This helps everyone to be on the same page in providing the best care of your mum as well as fitting in with what you need.

 

All the best,

tyme
