Bit of a bad day yesterday 😭😭 started off ok but just as mum was about to be hoisted onto the loo the nurse told me management had said I could no longer be in mum’s room when she was having personal care due to ‘dignity’. Made no sense to me or the nurse as I’ve been doing her personal care for years….
She said speak to the manager who had gone home so spoke to deputy who was fine and if I have the whole story I think I have inadvertently ruffled feathers by helping to clear up when the Niagra Falls come….I completely understand if that’s the case as not my role but I’m just a helpful sort….so deputy says I can stay in the room just not do anything ….which is fine with me….but worried manager may disagree…..
I know I am different to other relatives as I want to carry on some sort of hands on caring rather than just be left with the POA admin stuff…
Anyway so upset I ended up with a migraine and voimiting when I got home which is not like me at all 😭😭😭
I have to say carers and the nurse and the deputy manager were all lovely with me but a horrid day nonetheless ……
