Good morning everyone. Having a good day so far. Made a pork casserole (more pork mince) for the freezer and have some leek & potato soup cooking at the minute (TMs garden again - thanks TM). Of to A's in a minute for a C&C. May do a quick shop whilst I am there & check the reduced lines. Nearly at my limit already this month. May need to use my cousins account if we have any good glitches. Noticed the Christmas chocs filling up nicely yesterday. No 3 for £10 as yet but fingers crossed.

Good morning

Earlier in the week I emailed the body shop to ask for a refund on my missing LYB card. I had an email back saying yes but I've just realised it was for £3.50 and not the £5 that the card should be.

Does that sound right? It doesn't to me

VT I can't find the right emotional words just hugs for you all. :grouphug:

On a practical note you need to get a pill organiser, local chemists do the best sized ones if your dad has a lot of drugs to take.

You can get them split in to sections for morning/lunch/afternoon/evening and up to seven days worth. I used to sit and do this for my mum. If she fell asleep when she was due to take some it was easy for her to see what she had missed and without the need of intervention from carers.

You can get local chemists to blister pack the FOC but I found with a palliative care patient meds can change from one week to the next so not as ideal as it seems at first.

I used to leave a large glass of water in every room and I got mum a tefal one cup for making tea maybe this could be put near your dad just one press of a button and it's easy to check how much is being drunk from how much is gone from the tank. I used to only need to fill it once a day.

Ulitmately the struggles your dad is having is one of the reasons I moved in with my mum at the end. Yes the carers came to help lift her etc but if she was asleep I was go between and they didn't get through me.

As you say your dad is entitled to I think it's called continual health care funding which can be used to fund care home or carers/respite at home in the form of sits for 6 weeks and then he would be reasessed.

I know your dad doesn't want either of you to move in. To give my mum a false sense of coping I used to fly around her house in the evening with all these glasses of water, filling her one cup, leaving cereal out for her so that the mornings were hers to take at her pace. I would leave it as long as I could before phoning in the morning to make sure she had taken first meds of the day otherwise it had a knock on effect with her pain etc.

Not sure if any of the above helps you in anyway hun. Stay strong your dad, you and your sister are in my prayers. :A
