        I'm an early bird this morning. Dreadful day yesterday as it was thought Stephen might be suffering from a bleed on the brain after his fall on Thursday. Ambulance turned up very quickly but we spent 6 hours in the carpark. The doctor came out and apologised he should have been triaged and been seen to earlier. So hes been admitted and I was sent home. I just hope they did get him in asap.

        What a dreadful day.

              What an awful day, but this might be just what you need to get some help as they will have to arrange a "safe" discharge which should include help and support.

              Hope he is OK - sending you best wishes xxx

                            denise I'm so sorry to hear what's been happening, what a dreadful situation. I really hope that they can treat Stephen soon and things start improving. It must be very worrying but please do try to look after yourself as well, you must be exhausted. I hope they finally put the support in place that you both need for Stephen to be safe. Thinking of you x

                              Hi everyone. Stephen's in hospital, he wont be treated, I don't think they want to put him through that because hes frail. Hes gone a long way very quickly. I cant visit because they haven't got a room and because this is classed as unsafe property he cant live here so they have to find him a care home or nursing home. I just hope its somewhere nice and friendly. I feel relieved because I couldn't carry on the way things have been but on the other hand 40 years of, not even the best marriage in the world it's still 40 years of something. The flat feels empty. 😞

                              Saying that 2 of my cats have been fighting and I put my foot in between them. Now I have a cat foot print where George gouged a bit out of my leg.

                              😼

                                Glad they’re getting their fingers out at last, but terrible it has to get to this. Yes after all your exhausting caring with so little support, and 40 years together, it must be such a huge difference being on your own and his care out of your hands, and I bet you’re so exhausted. Sending love and hugs xxx
