Hi Elaine I started making a list of pros and cons if Mum came home. I came up with one Pro - that she'd enjoy being home. The I listed about twelve Cons regarding the room, the equipment, my health, times when the carers aren't here, (bearing in mind Mum's incontinent), and the fact that she'd have...

Dear All Many thanks for your quick responses. It seems many of you think like me. I was told a few weeks ago that she didn't qualify for the CHC assessment but having looked at it on on the internet I think she certainly does. I shall push for it again tomorrow.

She was unable to walk due to the operations for several weeks and spent six weeks in respite. I...

Simon, you're supposed to make a sentence out of COMIC before leaving another word.

We can't continue the game otherwise.

I do actually HATE hospitals. They scare me to death!!
