Hi just wanted to update you on my dad I went for a meeting today with a social worker ( at last) a consultant and his key worker all the s w kept saying is when your dad comes home next week we will put in place some help but it won’t be till after the holidays but you can manage till then can’t you because your dad is capable of washing and dressing himself and his mobility is good I just looked at her and said you are joking he can’t do any of those things and no he’s not coming home because I can’t do it anymore and my granddaughter is still not ok so she said well we’ll have to look at sheltered housing then your dad can pay the rent and look after himself I’m sorry but is she really being serious the doctor was really good and he said that my dad needed a lot of support and that he wouldn’t be discharging him until they’d found somewhere suitable well he’ll have to pay for his care she’s in for a shock cos he doesn’t have any money she was horrible I’m so busy I’m working Christmas Eve really my son is working Christmas Eve Christmas Day and Boxing Day he’s not expecting a medal and she’s too busy to take phone calls ( not that I’d be calling her) I have to text her if I have any questions at least my dad is ok there and he’s quite happy to stay there we will just have to wait and see what happens at the next meeting
