Those of you have followed my partner's woes over recent weeks and kindly offered support will know she has been in hospital for 8 or 9 days due to a horrendous skin complaint. I took her home yesterday. She was complaining of a sore hip, but I got her on the wheelchair and in and out of the car, so put it down to stiffness. This morning she slipped out of bed when the care worker came to get her washed and dressed. We caught her on a low stool, but M phoned the ambulance to be on the safe side.
The paramedic after a good examination decided she needs to go into hospital again for proper treatment and to force a decision on increased care. The second care worker who came said she had called the care manager in the meantime and she agreed. A neighbour told me his late wife had 4 calls a day with two care workers, so it should be possible to make that happen without moving C, but everything has to be on the table for a proper discussion.
I'm going in later and the paramedic told me to wave the POA documents at everyone who asks to make sure I'm heard. Thanks again for reading and all the best to you all.
