    Sending love @beanielou.  The lack of joined up care is shocking.   Please ring the discharge care person and explain because it's all resting on you, isn't it?! Love Humdinger xx

    Hope you are back home now but it's not good that you are having to do everything single handed . Here where I am anybody elderly gets a up to 6 week care package after surgery if needed. Please ask for help because you need to look after yourself as well.

    Echoing what the others have said Beanie - you need some sort of help with your mum. I hope you are home and in bed by now, although there's never any guarantee of that with A&E. Take it gently today.
