Hello
I haven't been great this last week and work is mega busy as Covid-19 hits -even out in more rural places it has began. We had a lady who's sister had returned from Wuhan before the lock down and now she is unwell....the test takes a few days, but we also have a positve Covid-19 on another patient. My hope of it fizzling out was a false one.
I have had huge moments of doubt over the last week about all of what has happened and looking at mum last week as she was tired and not who she was before made me quite teary and I did ask myself 'what have I done?' -could we have carried on at home? The answer is no, but as this whole situation moves further on, things are hitting me harder now than when I first took mum to the CH. It is indeed an insidious path to walk, because no matter which way you turn it doesn't help. Care homes are the best of a bad situation in the end.
As with everything else I am still battling -rehoming is not going to be easy and I have warned my manager that this may yet again mean another crisis on the work front, but she was very supportive and said to keep her up to speed and let her know if things escalate.
Waiting to hear from the MP as I have raised the my current difficulties with her not just re-homing but also how the Care Act 2014 does not cover equity release etc, but with Covid-19 it may be a while before I get a response
