Very clever cats you have there, merlin loves watching the badgers eat but he really growls and moves behind me when the foxes arrive. A couple of years ago he jumped up on the open window and up onto the roof and sat staring down on them, gave me a fucking heart attack lol, he eyes up the window every nite so i have to put him off, he goes up on them but he is older and fatter and i am not sure he could make the jump onto the roof nowadays, lolNot much wildlife out on the streets in these parts but just reading this and picturing the scene was good in its own way, so thank you. Anyway I read it out loud to the two cats who sat and blinked as if they agreed.n
It's days like today that make me want to try heroin.
It would be a last resort for me. To be honest, I wouldn't even drink alcohol again. It would be extreme mental illness that could only possibly make me drink again.I have actually considered heroin myself as my life is so painful
I've just looked at the weather forecast for the next ten days
Nothing but rain
My brother has just visited me and told me he's in counselling which I'm shocked about
I knew he'd tried Setraline
I had iv tramadol in hospital, oh my god, i can see how people get hooked on it taken that way, don't do the heroin! Sending you virtual hugs xIt's days like today that make me want to try heroin.
He's fallen again this afternoon, we've assessment in care home tomorrow morning at 11. I've gone round and lifted him off the bathroom floor. Got him to his chair, he's had tea and a sandwich.Hi lovely , i think you have got to the time to be asking the q, Is it time for a chat about going into a home or at least a warden controlled flat?
Sorry that is all i have this late at night, grab me for chat tomorrow if you like xxx
Sorry to hear that, i wonder if physio might be good for him, get some strength in his legs maybe, it is horrible to lose your independence but sometimes you have to be somewhere safe, let us know how it goes tomorrow xHe's fallen again this afternoon, we've assessment in care home tomorrow morning at 11.

Really unsteady in his feet even with his walker. Said he's no confidence in his legs supporting him. I've walked behind him to kitchen to leave his cup in kitchen then to bathroom
Will do thanks, he's had physio and been given exercises but don't think he does them xSorry to hear that, i wonder if physio might be good for him, get some strength in his legs maybe, it is horrible to lose your independence but sometimes you have to be somewhere safe, let us know how it goes tomorrow x

Thanks , he's fallen again when got up for bathroom. I'm sending this from ambulance. We as in family think he shouldn't have been sent home at weekend as unsafe.I really feel for you ob struggling with all the cleaning up you probably need a break and they do respite care as well so a couple of weeks to recharge your batteries.
You don’t have to be in bed very long before your legs start going and at 91 balance is another weakness, Physio can work wonders especially in a respite care setting.
Not really worried about him I don't think his depression is anywhere near as bad as mine.Your brother managed to get counselling so he’s getting help are you worried about him? it was good of him to come and see you
Makes a big difference to my week, no city loving, red shirt hatingGod I hate these international breaks
So shit
Your probably shattered AE in the small hours…They have to find a bed for him until you know why he is falling all the time it’s not safe currently to be at homeThanks , he's fallen again when got up for bathroom.

We are on way to a&e as he's got trauma from were his catheter got ripped out during the fall. Blood everywhere on him, bathroom floor etc. I'll go clean that up along with stuff from yesterday once get home settled in
Cheers was going off 3 hours sleep today. Just left him munching on some custard creams and having spoken to 2 Drs and 2 physiotherapists don't think he's going anywhere soon. He's had neck scan, BP low when sitting up. Physio couldn't get him out of bed, sat him up but he couldn't stand up. Going to test his urine (he has urine infection which they hadn't cleared when in few days ago). Severe dehydration and malnutrition. Also testing his stools and doing scan due to his explosive diarrhea. Don't think any damage re catheter and that seems to be working ok at present.Your probably shattered AE in the small hours…They have to find a bed for him until you know why he is falling all the time it’s not safe currently to be at home
He shouldn’t have been sent out until he had a proper assessment from the consultant. At 91 he’s done great to still be at home, they really should keep him in hospital for a full examination
The catheter came out, I hope it’s not done any long term damage because there’s a balloon inside them. It must have been painful.
