Progress not Perfection

I'd let him get patient transport, you need as much of a break as you can get.

Its not unreasonable either for you not to feel safe handling him alone so soon after a fall.

I really wish they'd kept him for a day or two (not for him to be worse of course)

I had to book him a taxi. He’s home now and very proud to be sporting a pair of hospital socks 🙄

At least you didn't have to go and get him! And he's well enough to be discharged. And he's discharged with antibiotics. And you are still sane and have gel nails.

Hospital socks, eh? At least they skipped the pester list stage.

Here's to a boring and uneventful rest of the day. x

The hospital socks here are colour coded - who knew?

Hope you get a good nights sleep after last night. At least he won’t be bored as he has something to think about today .

I am glad your husband is OK but nothing has really changed for your caring responsibilities. Consider ringing your Adult Social care team and ask for a new assessment.  This is too much for one person to cope with.

 I do see what you mean, @poppy811, but I don't think Mr SA can be persuaded to accept outside help.

I see the difficulties; but what about SA here? Doing all this single-handed for 10 years while working full-time without any real respite or support is going to burn you out, no?! What will Mr SA do then? Love Humdinger xx

sadly Mr SA has long  brain damage with frequent incontinence and falls. Surely any help would be good.  Ultimately it is down to you, I just want you to know that there maybe options to make life a little less stressful for you.

Sadly it is indeed Mr SA who is very very resistant to outside help.
