Dear Bel: So pleased you are getting support. And for you to be getting a 'package' that is really good news.

I do so hope that soon you wll be getting all the help and relief you need.

Take all you can get. Love Jan

Dear Bel, that's really good news. A support package will make such a difference.

Make sure you get some time for yourself, not just to work in the shop -- although I know that's your pride and joy.:)

I hope the medication helps Bob.

Love,

Well that`s not good enough bel.

From what I`ve read from other people`s posts, you need to be a bit pushy. I`m not sure how pushy you`re meant to be, but perhaps a phone call every day until you get some attention might work. :rolleyes:

Love xx

Bel, maybe you have been patient long enough and it's time to pester them until you get your package in place. I know it is very hard on you finding the time with running the shop and caring for Bob but sometimes unless you jump up and down they'll just let you struggle on. Maybe Bel, one of your kids could also ring the SW expressing their concerns about your needs. Good Luck. Taffy.

Dear bel

You're quite right, you've been patient long enough. Put you strong head on, you can do it!

Let us know the time of your meeting and we'll all send you strong vibes. You're bound to feel them.

Dear Bel.
You don`t need to get cross if it`s against your nature.

When you see the consultant tell him you are being overlooked because you are not being assertive enough, you don`t want to get angry but your husband is suffering, you are suffering and he needs help.

Ask the consultant what you need to do to be listened to, and how many more months should you be expected to wait.

And write down what you want to say, so you don`t forget any of it.

I`m sorry for coming on so strongly but you and Bob are being neglected.

Love xx

Dear Bel.

I`m sorry you`ve not been well, but not a bit surprised, because when you are under stress you have little resistance to infection.
That`s another thing to write down for the consultant. What will happen to Bob if you get too ill to look after him, because you haven`t been getting enough support.

Glad you`re feeling a bit better.

love xx

Hi Bel

Do you have an assigned CPN.

He/She should be able to support you in getting the help you need.

I found with my parent's that the CPN was my lifeline and where I got the most support.

Best wishes for the consultation. Tell it like it is and insist on the help you need.

Love
Alfjess

Dear Bel,
I wish you all the best for Wednesday. I use to write things down for the Consultant and it was a great help for him.
Do hope that this matter is resolved for you.
Take care of yourself. Very best wishes. Christine

my computor had a virus only just got sorted

spoke to visiting psycologist last tuesday she said she would have a word with consultant for me
but when we went to see him next day i was feeling a bit stronger so i told him myself he made a note and said he would write to social worker saying i had made a complaint one week later not a word ---
visiting psycologist came to see me afterwards and i got really cross-for me-- she agreed we are not being treated fairly we are being neglected it seems the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing seems coventry is over loaded with dementia cases i appreciate this but as i said i was desperate the other week and if nothing is done i will get desperare again

Dear Bel.
It`s good to hear you are feeling a bit stronger and standing up for your rights. But it`s awful to hear the excuses. I think you are going to need to make a bit of a niusance of yourself. Perhaps a daily phone call just to remind them you`re still waiting.
Love xx
