Re: not coping

Have you had that assessment yet @outlander ? Or is it on Friday?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

i had the assessment on tuesday for pop @tyme and i heard back already to say the level 4 has been approved and theyve marked it as urgent so he should be getting increased funding within the next 3 months to use.
and he also got approved for the permanent care as well. so i will have the codes to contact the nursing homes to go onto waitlists within the next 2 weeks when it all gets finalised.

i have a court date in a couple of months because i have to apply through NCAT to become a legal guardian. without that title if a placement comes up i cant take it because pop wont agree to it but with the legal title i can override the decision and send him into care even if he says no and as much as that sounds awful he wont ever go willingly

i also had a rather unpleasant procedure done today so im still quite sore and cramping.

Re: not coping

So much happening @outlander . Hope you are okay. It's a lot to go through on your own. So you have family supports or other supports to help you?

So is your pop your mum's dad?
