Dad xx

I have not had experience a fragility service but will keep him in my prayers! I had colon cancer i which required chemo. The longer I took it the weaker I got. Strange feeling of not feeling sleepy just exhausted!  I make it thru to a complete recover and pray you dad will as well!

Hi Chloe 

I know about this service in Scotland soI think it will be similar. 

it’s about getting the right support in place at home rather than a hospital admission . They look at the whole situation . Personal care, eating , dressing etc  plus occupational therapy & physio & pain management  Trying to maximise the persons ability. . In a lot of situations this is a good choice but at times the person needs a little spell in hospital to get a  holistic rehab plan set up.

Once you get your dad’s results there will be a clearer picture . 

On  another note . I don’t know if you are aware that your dad can claim either PIP for under 66 and AA for over . Just incase you’re not aware . Once he has that in place . If you work under a certain amount of hours a week you can apply for carers allowance

thankyou for your lovely message ! 
I really want my dad to go into hospital for a short spell so he can get the care he needs and the medical attention , I’ve tried for weeks on end to get him in , as you no I really am on the ball and trying my best with him so he can get some strength up and use them legs again ! Eveything is up in the air waiting on these mri results 

in my head I would like them to take him to some rehabilitation centre near by get him stronger and on his feet sort him out with his pain management etc then he can come home and try again , that’s my wish 

I’m getting no we’re trying to give him the medical attention he needs in his home I’m really not , If anything he’s getting more depressed and weaker , has the odd good day but will not use his legs there like match sticks now , from being so good on his legs running all round the beach it’s crazy behaviour ! 
I think he needs mental heath help aswell so this is why I’m pushing for him to have a short stay somewere , I’m hoping they do 

and I was thinking yesterday even if they offer him treatment soon there is no way that dad will be fit enough to go back and forth back and forth it will kill him he’s to weak , he would have to stay somewere for a bit until stronger 

so do you think they may send him somewere after the call , I don’t want him to go in a home or anything but what I do want is medical care and professional care to get him on his feet he’s a nervous wreck x 

he’s got them ringing him next week then bloods the day after a full blood count 

STILL WAITING ON MRI RESULTS
