Mam looking a lot better when I went in this evening.
I filed her nails and brought back some dirty washing.
She was pleased about the "pink half dressing gown" as well.
Generally she was feeling a lot better today and wasn't in as much pain. I didn't stay too long - only about half and hour or so.
I chatted to nurse Sheila about a few things which I'll go into later. She did suggest looking
into PoA arragements to cover respectively her finances and her social service care - it seems PoA can be differentiated into those two types. A lot of Mam's activities will have to be done by proxy in future. I hope that there is a possibility of her returning home but a lot of this depends on what the Occupational Therapy/Health people say when they assess her.
We must ensure that there is no repetition of the previous "assessment" that wasn't. Mam was let down, in my view, by the Orthopaedic Discharge Team by their adjuging that she didn't need a bathing assistant when it was clear that such a thing was a necessity.
Sheila suggested that we contact AgeConcern for advice.
