Hello everyone, carer's are having problems with Ed's personal care, yesterday he was in such a mess, l helped carer but he was so agressive, he didn't know it was me trying to help him, he had not been changed or washed for 24hrs, now doubly incontinent, it takes 3 carer's to change him, yesterday they were short staffed due to illness. We did manage with much difficulty, after the event he had forgotten all about it. His legs are still very swollen, Dr came to see him last week, it could be his heart or kidneys, Dr asked me if l want hospital tests done, l said no let nature take its course, he agreed with me, if he went to hospital, he would not be cooperative, as he doesn't know what is being said to him.
Last night most of the residents were so agitated with the loud fireworks going off, no respect for elderly people in the CH, it sounded like bombs going off.
