Those that have followed my story will know that I had a nervous breakdown caring for my Mum on my own for 4 years. She was sent direct to a nursing home after her second, in quick succession, in fact 3 hours after discharge from hospital, fall. They were going to send her home yet again until I broke down on the phone. After being rejected by 4 care homes, she was accepted by a Nursing Home, and it is lovely. She hasn't been home for 5 months and she no longer even knows where she lives now, doubly incontinent, bed ridden, had bed sore (from hospital stay). She used to throw her dinner at me, slapped me round the face and rejected everything I did to try and help her. I now have a calmer, better relationship with her and she's settled in quite well at the NH. After constant back and forth with SS they are now taking her case to panel on Thursday at long last. CHC have also told me that they are paying the nursing side of her fees backdated to January. SW just emailed me to say do I want to add anything to send to panel for Thursday. I basically said, Im still on anti depressants, and if she comes home I will hand the keys over to SS as I'm not going down the same road again and end up suicidal, and she's much,much worse now. Also my back issues mean I cannot lift her.
I'm on tenterhooks now. What if they send her home, I'm dreading the thought of it. Hugs to everyone, Sue xx
