As we have done rather a number of photo posts!
I’ve enjoyed reading all the hesfes blogs, and look forward to going when SB about 6. Certainly looking forward to Kessie beforehand, even though it will be a bit manic for me!
On duty again – sigh as spent a lot of the day trying not to let the N and N discharge my nan home today and then give her a zimmer / handles for loo etc tomorrow – what a crap idea! Also, that we do not live locally, so where is she supposed to get bread/ milk etc, and fridge empty. Hmmm they said. And what about home visit? well she doesn’t need any – Hmmm said I!! After lots of humming, she is staying in until at least tomorrow, when I can do emergency dash after 24 hour shift. Though they won’t use the community action team, they will get the red cross hospital leavers programme in – as I begged -which is 2 weeks of a daily visit and a minor shop if needs be. Also, will assess house properly. At moment she always eats in dining room – now bedroom, so will have to carry tray of food to sitting room instead – but how with zimmer?? Espec as by end of next week hopefully wont need zimmer. We need to see how to rig things up. Anyway, lots of grumblings, and they are rethinking, and i will hear outcome later today.
SB had a glorious weekend – as quickly blogged, and enjoyed Monday too, as Nana F and grandad, as well as pam and robert visited. lots of attention! Lots of general playing really – and you’ve seen the pciture of the bath.

– craft with SB = making moved cards

Helen, my Gran has a zimmer with a tray on it so she can wheel her food to the front room as she is in the same position, the dining room is now the bedroom. We did all club together and buy it for her though, the NHS didn’t provide but its worth a look see if you can find one? Hope she feels better once she gets home.
PS I also got her over gloves that were actual gloves, a special thing for opening tins with ring pulls, a bottle opener thing, all that sort of stuff to make her life easier. Its actually been a pretty goodline in presents over the last few years each time they bring out a new gadget LOL!
helen here, try zimmer sounds good.
got glove things from lakeland – now there’s a good idea!
working on idea of tabletop oven/combo microwave
