Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Here with you all the way @Shaz51

holding your hand

just remember- your and mr Shaz health is just as important. Because if you’re not well you can’t look after your mum.

Hugs 🤗♥️ Xx

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Shaz51 Well it's a help then if your aunty agrees your mum isn't ready to come home yet.

There's probably paperwork and a special assessment for the right aged care package to get your mum a carer during the day. There seem to be a lot of providers online (like Mable) as well as all the established services, one might be able to help you get it organised. Ì'll dip out at this stage, I don't know enough about it, but I wish you all the very best.

Hope all goes well with kidney specialist tomoz @Shaz51 ... trusting you're in good hands...

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Yep indeed @Shaz51 ! It’s a lot to take on. I really hope you can work it out. So hard to see your mum in pain and in the situation but you have to do what’s best for yourself and Mr Shaz too.

Very true @hanami , @Former-Member , @tyme , @TideisTurning

@Dimity , @BlueBay , @Jacques , @outlander

Mum and the OT are making a home visit tomorrow afternoon and then going back to the hospital

@moderator , @hanami , I amm finding it sooo hard to express my needs and thinking of mum's needs

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

It can be really tough @Shaz51. I can find it a lot harder to express or assert my own needs than those a loved one. One thing that really helps me is a reminder (so often echoed by another loved one who is especially caring of me) that me, and my needs are also just as important. I feel like this is especially true when you are a carer or supporting someone. Wishing you whatever strength and courage you may need to speak, and sitting here with you. 💛
