Subject: RE: 95 years old, can't have a bath on NHS!
our story of getting things done. edi was in hospital after an operation on her back, it left her needing a cathater. they would not release her until she could wee on her own.
i made five phone calls. the first to the doctor to ask if she could go there to get it changed. they gave me the number of the district nurse who said that was something they could help with. the district nurse i spoke to as very helpful and reassured me she could come to see her the day she was discharged.

the fourth to the hospital again and she was out the last back to the district nurse to tell her when she was getting out of hospital, and to make a time for her to come round the same day.

in the space of one hour they were getting ready to discharge her.

it wasnt my job to arrange this, it should have been done by the nurses, but it got the the right result as fast and as painlessly as possible.

the person who has my sympathies is your ex mother in law, who i am sure is hating all this fuss.

if it is truely for her, have you asked her what route she wants to take?
my guess is the one that gets it done without too much aggro.

oh and lizzie, i don't think you are aware of how much your ranting upsets others.
you seem to flit to another rant as soon as things get tough on another thread.

on the homeschooling thread, i asked you a question, you came back and attacked me,please have the decency to finish what you started.

i sincerly hope that this poor lady gets the things she needs, however you get there, she is the end goal, not proving some higher point.

take care all
