My husband has LBD and was hospitalised following an infection that led to sepsis/c-diff, then he caught Covid and pneumonia. He was confined to his bed for the last week of the year, went into hospital on 1 Jan and came out in 4 March. He wasn’t able to be hoisted out of bed into a chair in hospital as he had a serious postural drop. We currently have carers coming in four times a day. His daughter feels it’s time for him to go into residential care and I feel she is right.
I need to tell him tomorrow that on Monday we’ve arranged for him to go somewhere for some rehab and r and r - unless any of you wonderful people have any better ideas of how to word it?
In fact, if all goes well, he will stay there. I feel like an absolute heel and utterly selfish, despite knowing all the theory! Any ideas how to cope with the next few days would be greatly appreciated… x
