hey everyone
just some help would be good, this is a bit long winded but will try my best.
here goes....
my grandad has alzhiemers and is currently in respite at the minute as he had a bad dose of pneumonia and we need him to gt his strength back up so he cam come home and we are making it more accesible for him. anyway, me and my mam are his main carers and in my opinion my role doesnt stop (i dont want it to) just because he is in respite. we visit every day for couple of hours because i miss him alot and it stimulates him because where he is they dont seem to bother much with the patients. anyway, i was out in town on an evening a couple of weeksago and i saw one of the nursing assistants from the ward my grandad is at and i have only seen her once before beacuse she normally works night shif but has now gone onto days so i dont know her that well. we were chatting about general stuff then she got chatting about grandad and then at the end of the conversation she put her hand up as if she REALLY wanted to ask this and if she had been wanting to for a long time and said "do you doubt that we dont care for fred (my grandad) properly?"
now i was so shocked and i said no why do you ask this?and she went on by saying well you visit all the time do you not trust us?
i have made a complaint to the charge nurse but he didnt seem interested all he said was "well you have to careful when you out in a pub"
it is not in herposition to be asking this though is it? am i right that she should not have said this?what i want to knoe is why is she saying it obviously i must be so popular on that ward that they have to talk about me when im not there!!
im ging round the bend and worrying about this
help help help
