    Morning all, oh i so agree gem, you have to keep the pressure on them all the time or the care slips doesn't it. I can't blame the carer's i was looking at one of the girls visits the other day, she's a "walker" they allow her only 5 minutes between calls and some of them are ridiculously far...

    Morning all, just back from my annual falklands war reunion and feeling just a tad hungover and rough. LOL We're lucky with mum's carers Lisa, they are not bad at all, but yes, the real problem is how little time they're alloted to each visit.

    Morning all, well I've had interesting news, something on the scan alerted them to a problem and they went back to her chest x-rays, it turns out she may have had pneumonia, there is shadowing on the lungs and she's never been a smoker. The carer's have now been alerted to the fluids problem...

    Morning all, Thanks Jo I think the problem is Gem that i visit most days and make sure she gets plenty of cranberry juice down, i can't really blame the carer's in a way because I know if you're not there to constantly remind her to drink she won't do it. The way the system works they don't...

    Morning all, Gem, thanks for that it'll give me some questions to ask when i see her Dr on Monday. I do know they took about three blood tests so maybe they have checked for that. the consensus at the moment seems to be severe dehydration leading to a urine infection and also a chest...

    Morning all, Gem, I couldn't possibly comment ;) I'd love to live there Susie, but at £4.50 a pint, god it's expensive, unless those are match day prices. Colleen's last day at work today and then we're both retired. I'm really looking forward to that.

    Morning all, Hi Gem, I did love, they weren't happy about it but the social worker stuck her oar in and they agreed. They have also agreed to try and limit the number of different carer's so maybe that'll help as well. Big news here, they have agreed to let Colleen retire early as part of a...

    Jim's lazy Atkins diary

    Morning all, One of the problems is how many different carer's there are, when she had the council carer's it was the same two women all the time except for weekends, with the care company it seems to be different people all the time, including males at lunchtime. At least they are not sending...

    Morning all, well things are going a bit better after a week of constant visits and reminder notes for carer's, she's still not being showered as often as I'd like, but I do know how hard it is to make her go and shower. Maybe I can relax a bit now and get my life back.

    Apart from the washing and showering it's going well, the carer yesterday spoke to her manager to suggest they try and shower mum at night as she is always getting ready for bed when the last visit happens, this is about 5:30. I think that's an excellent idea. My mum is the same Gem, as I said...

    Jim's lazy Atkins diary

    Morning all, Things seem to be easing up, me staying away has helped from the look of it. I must say I'm impressed with the carer's they are getting her involved in what they are doing and she likes that from what they are writing in the log. Thanks for all your thoughts guys.

    Morning all, NTR here, the meeting with the Social worker was quite inconclusive really, she just asked lots of questions about Mum and what we (I) are doing to help her. I suppose until they go round and actually meet her they can't formulate a care plan. Olivia is happy this morning, she...

    Morning all, You know Gem, your description there is absolutely spot on. I must go and see what sort of care package I can get for Mum, that'll relieve some of the stress I'm sure. And yes. I have to hide the tablets as well.

    Morning all, Amazing how life can change, no Jack duties any more, but sadly, for the moment no Olivia duties either. Carol is off now and "Bump" is imminent. :) Colleen is fine, I think after all those years of looking after first her Mum Lily and then Jack she is actually stress free now...

    Hi gem, morning all. Well it was a very lazy holiday, we didn't even hire a car this time. Just spent most of the day on the beach or wandering around the old town. I'm not sure if we even took any photo's this time.

    Morning all, very quiet weekend here, didn't do much at all. NTR on Jack, he's very quiet and subdued, he's hardly eating or drinking anything so I can't see him lasting much longer. It'd be a kindness for all concerned if he went.
  138. Jim

    Morning all, Well he was discharged yesterday after a couple of days on a drip again.

    Morning all, I forgot to weigh this morning but my jeans feel a bit looser. We've not had snow Susie, it's very bright and sunny, but the wind is Siberian, bitterly cold. I have temptation sitting staring at me, a mate of mine has just come back from visiting his Gran in Ireland and he bought...

    Morning all, I'm so fed up with all this snow, the pavements are treacherous, I wish this was like Germany where residents have to keep the pavements cleared by law. We've done our bit, but no one else has bothered.

    Morning all, lovely sunny day out there, but, we have snow forecast for this evening and much of tomorrow. I've had enough of it frankly. :( LOL yes Gen, the kids are real health/organic food freaks for her even if they eat crap themselves. They need another kid, maybe they'll stop being so...

    Morning! well it was a nice day yesterday in the end, but it's a bit grey and damp out there at the moment. I bought some spam over the weekend, I'm going to fry that up with some eggs for lunch, haven't had spam in a long long time.

Olivia is fascinated by the workmen putting up the scaffolding, she was sitting by the French Windows watching them, now they...
