Bowling Bun I absolutely agree with you. You had it much worse than me with 5 of your family to have to deal with and I admire your strength and fortitude. I too blame the care system, social services and basically any Government (its departments) the NHS and any other institution involved. There is...

Bowling Bun she has only been classed as end of life due to age and fragility. She has no real physical health problems that cause her difficulties only the fact that her mobility is now almost non-existent and that is due to the fact that when she broke her second hip in 2019 she refused to do any ...

Breezy - thank you so much for responding and letting me know of your experiences. I have tried time and time again over the past 5 years especially to get her GP to see how bad things really are.

Hello Karen. I don’t know if you found a resolution for yourself, your sister and your mum but in case you didn’t I’ll tell you of my experience and how, in the end, I had to deal with it.
