Dear Sacred Daughter

I know exactly how you feel. The same is happening with me and my hubby. We've been together 27 years and have shared lots of love and laughter. The only tears were of joy...

Hi Saggitarius 101

And to other sufferers of this hateful illness. I am in a "wallowing" period at present and just starting to come through it.

Reading your posts has just opened another...

There is an organisation called Vitalise with facilities in the south but I don't know whether they'd be able to take just your loved one or if you'd need to be with her too

If she had been in hospital she wouldnt have been discharged without a care package in place. I would keep going to SW and if you get no response got to the supervisor - failing that put a report in...

Hi Joonipoonie, I've recently had couple of meetings with solicitor regarding my will. She also drew up jointly and severally POA for myself and OHs daughter. She's fully au fait with my situation...

What does this actually entail and could they be part time live in carers or even part time carers who didnt live in? I'm at the stage where OH needs 24/7 care and not sure if I or he wants to go...

Hi Normelle, know exactly what you're going through - the pain can be excruciating. I was taking Omeprazole for a while till I had gall bladder removed. They helped but after the op it was such...

Sorry, but I must come clean. I took OH home 20 months ago and gave it everything. I didn't realise just how much he'd improve - he has complex needs apart from dementia. He's a wonderful loving...

Have consulted with solicitors and no there is no way that LPA can be overturned unless in a case of fraud or misappropriation of funds. As the LPA is jointly and severally I can overrule her if I...

No 1954 you're not thick - I was just so tired and in shock and frustrated. We had an assessment on the psychiatric ward where OH is and has been accepted at CH where he's been for respite in the...

well i think i've gone and done itthe ward - wwillit continue in the home.

If you visit every day you're really not going to find lots to talk about. I would consider dropping it off slowly so your OH can see his mum is doing ok without the constant visits. You have really...

So sorry to hear of your mums decline. Unfortunately this often seems yo be the case in hospitals - too few staff and too much to do. Is she on any supplements - Ensure etc or other such drinks. I...

dear advid

I know exactly what you are going through. Hubby had had cancer op which had gone well but 6 months later had major gastric bleed, hospitalised for 6 mths. Arrived home skin and...

-Hubby was always hoisted but as he could be difficult using that the carers tried transferring and slowly he did it -but the OTs/physios weren't advised until later when he could do it reasonably...

Hi Muriel, you have beenso brave - not just since Bryan's passing but even before when you were caring for him. At the end of the day we don't do it out of a sense of duty or for and self...

will advise outcome for others

jenniferpa thank you so much for that - think I'lll make apt with solicitor to cover everything.




You've reassured me and pointed me in right direction.

think i'm going have to go through legal system to clarify al. but many thanks and i'll report back for others in future situations xxx

Hi Jenniferpa, and thank you, I have found you so helpful in the past.

I took out joint poa when I realised hubby was so deteriorated and not quite able to sign and as she's (Hubby's only daughter...

Try not to buy - do an Aneka Rice job - tell em what it's for and hopefully they'll bite or persuade for a huge discount and mention in paper;):D YOU DONT ASK YOU DONT GET!!!

Now there's a really brave thing to do! What about a footie/cricket/golf/rugby/tennis tournament arranged - not just for Alz Soc awareness but can the funds be channelled elsewhere - ie into...

Also under joint LPA is it possible that the other joint PA can obtain details of complex joint wills?

Is it ever possible to have joint LPA overturned and reduced to single LPA?

The right time is when it happens - and you alone will know. Your loved ones are all MIL,FIL fathers, mothers etc. I have nursed hubby for 20 months from being skin and bones and even at the start...
