The home care assessor called yesterday to offer us a care package for mum, the visiting times from the carers would be 11.00, 1.00, 6.00 and then 7.00 p.m. what the hell are we supposed to do with that?? That would mean my mum lying unable to move in her bed from 7.00 at night until eleven in the morning?? I have told Fife Council to get this sorted. I have a feeling they are dragging their heels hoping my mum will pass away in the hospice. The family are so stressed my sister was in tears.
My mums wedding ring had to be taken off as her hand has swollen up, she has never had this ring of since the day she got married 56 years ago. My mum wants me to have it so its on a chain around my kneck it's heart breaking I wanted her to keep it on until she passed as she always said that her ring would be on until the day she dies.
hopefully Fife Council will get their finger out and get this care package sorted out so we can get her home.
