Feeling a bit low today, Im my mums main carer. She fell in May and has been in and out of hospital since then. She fell again in August and has been in hospital ever since.

She was at home all the school holidays, and as a few of you may remember, i had a 'meltdown' at one point as I couldnt cope with helping her, running her houshold as well as mine, having three kids at home, doing the job of the incompetent professionals involved etc, as well as having to go in between carer visits and during the night.

Anyway, visits mum today, she says the physio has asked her to talk to me about what will happen if she cant go home. How can i tell my mum that I think she would be better in a home, its breaking my heart:(

I know she was not safe at home over the summer, we lurched from one crisis to another, and her ability and mobility is not as good as it was then, so I knew we might have to face this. Shouldnt it be up to the staff on the ward to asses her and advise her about if she can safely go home? Do I have to take on this responsibility and guilt as well?:(:(

On the plus side, I told her about the cheese glitch and she was very impressed:)

hi my heart goes out to you as i work in a care home as much as you love your mum you also need your own space and more than anything looking after you family is number one i understand how hard it must be to broach the subject and how bad you must feel as of course its your mum in my opinion you should suggest respite which usually consists of a two week period and looking round different care homes tell your mum how worried you are about her but allow her to to chose the place she feels happy with asides that there is carers that can go in and assist at home dont forget it means your mum giving up everything she has known for her whole life

I don't think we get that one, if I remember correctly this glitch happened before on the same or a similar pack of cheese about this time last year and we never got it. I got a CS SA to check on the system last time but it didn't come up as available for her, she rang a few other stores but they were the same.
I know I can't order it for delivery using my own postcode so not even bothered looking this time

It was the exact same pack and if what happened last time happens this time then it won't be £1 tomorrow.

Really feel for you.

Can you talk to the staff to see what they might advise?

I have tried, but they keep throwing the ball back in my court and say talk to your mum about it yourself. They will not advise if they think she would be safe at home.

A big thanks to the person that posted the cheese glitch, I'm really grateful. I managed to get a couple of packs this evening. They were the last one's left. I was so pleased as I thought I'd missed out.

Not me. Missed out! Quite frustrated but my own fault for being too slow.:o

Sorry about how things are, would expect your mum knows herself that she can't cope on her own, why not ask her what she thinks the best soloution would be if returning to her own home is out of the question, she might hope to come stay with you.

I tried to ask her what she felt about thinsg today but just got very vague answers. She said things like 'its difficult to know what to do, the nurses will have to sort out a bed for me in a home and that will be extra work for them'

So she hasnt got much of a grasp of things really. when she has been more 'with it' she has said she doent want to give her bungalow up as she loves it, and she often has unrealistic ideas about how she can manage, her insight is limited.

Even the Sw says she will not get involved about assessing her until Ive/we have decided what to do!
