    Sad to say it is not unusual for someione to become incontinent during a hospital stay.  I have no proof but it seems to be caused by them having to wet themselves because of the delays & severe lack of urgency in getting them to the toilet/bedpan.

    Oh that's something I wasn't aware of badmemory. but I have little expereince in knowing people going into hospital. Nan is doing ok, had some relatives visit. I will once work schedule allows and I can get a lift there. She has had a SW assigned, someone on here mentioned one recently. Thank you for that post cos as soon as Mum told me I breathed an inward sigh of relief that we now have a 'go to'  

    Work issue has been resolved by compromise on both sides which I was happy to agree to. This means our longer term goals can slightly move forward. 

    Enjoyed an outing with eldest after work, ate Korean food  at a covered street food venue and then worked our way thru some drinks on offer at a nearby pub. 

    Today's goals. Clear the last bits from some cupboards in our bedroom in anticipation of painter coming. Tidy up in case freinds call round. I am starting to feel more relaxed, a week or 2 ago I was 'what problem is today going to bring'
