Hubby has pseudo-obstruction. Nothing can be done to correct it. The tube to keep the bowel movements, which is the problem with the nursing home. Everyone at the hospital, from the top consultants, to the junior nurses explain its not a difficult thing to do,but the home refuse, even with some training from the hospital. My daughters and myself were offered training as an option and we are not medically trained. Hubby also has swallowing difficulties. I do take yoghurts etc to him. Am anxious about the new nursing home, where it will be etc. How the move will affect him,and all that goes with it. Angry is a mild word, to how I feel regarding the nurses at the home. Won't even try. The ward sister told me yesterday, they say, no, without any explanation. Not one nurse, or the manager has made contact with me,or family, to find out how he is,how we are. They have in the past. The home that states relatives are as important as residents. Proving to be the contary. Its gone so downhill, and obvious, by the CQC findings. The nursing, not the carers, or cleanliness etc. They are a disgrace to the profession.
I'm trying to look after myself. Pacing visits, but to be honest, can't be bothered with very much.
Hubby will not see this year out. So I'm not in a good place, but thankful for having a caring family, who are heartbroken too, and angry with the home. We support each other.
